RGSAO Win Midlands' Title

19 June 2009

RGS Worcester & The Alice Ottley School were successful in getting three of its teams through to the Midlands Final of the English Schools' Athletics Cup at Tipton this week.

Both Junior Boys' and Girls' teams made the final eight with the boys improving considerably upon their qualifying round score to finish fourth behind the winners, Northampton School for Boys. The Junior Girls were seventh in a competition won by Loughborough High School.

Star performers, however, were the RGSAO Intermediate Girls' team who were convincing winners with a fifteen point margin over Loughborough. Third were Kenilworth School and fourth, local rivals, Bromsrgove School. Top points scorer for the team was Holly Wootten with a 2 minutes 27.2 second 800m and 28.62 metre Javelin. However, the strength of the team was the consistent points scoring of all twelve members of the team.

RGSAO now progress to the National Final at Hendon on Saturday 04 July.
