Athletics Success for Alex
Congratulations to Lower Sixth student, Alex Houchin who has been selected as part of the UK Athletics Talent Development Pathway Programme. This follows a summer of athletic achievements for Alex including:
● Double Worcestershire County Champion Under 17 in both the 100 metres and 200 metres
● Second in the Midlands Under 17 200 metres in a Personal Best and RGS record time of 22.35
● Fourth in the Midlands Under 17 100 metres in a Personal Best time of 11.20
● Seventh in the British Under 17 Championships
Alex said: “I was really pleased to have some competitions this summer and I really enjoyed the whole experience. I was very happy with my performances and it was nice to see the hard work of winter training starting to pay off. It was great to make the final of the British Under 17 200 metre Championship, as well as setting my first RGS School record! I hope to use the experience I gained from this summer to further improve my athletics in the future, and I hope I can make more finals in the years to come.”
Very well done to Alex.
