Hereford Cathedral Junior School – Malvern Aquathlon

26 May 2016

Competitors from Hereford Cathedral Junior School travelled to Malvern College last weekend for the aquathlon.

There were 12 independent schools from the West and West Midlands represented, including some very strong sporting schools (Monmouth, Malvern St James, RGS Worcester, King’s Worcester, Cheltenham College Prep, Bromsgrove School).

Over 150 pupils took part in the U13 and U11 categories. All competitors had to swim 100m, ‘transition’ into their running gear and run 800m around the undulating grounds of Malvern College (with no break between swimming and running).

All of our young team did very well. They will have gained from the experience, and all but one will be eligible for the U11 competition next year. Special congratulations go to Oliver S (Year 5), who won bronze in the U11 boys category (out of 42 competitors).
