The Mullion School cross country team has been in action this term with races in the West Cornwall Cross Country league and the English Schools Cup. The league races have been going very well with a number of high finishing positions and great team performances particularly with the girls year 7&8 team.
Leading performers have been:
• Matt Sole
• Nell Savage
• Tillie Alfrey-Cryan
• Tyler Donovan
• Matt Hall
• Harry Roberts
• Jade Ellery
• Ben Johns
We travelled to Ivybridge for the English Schools Cup match. Again we had many strong individual performances, but lacked a little depth to allow us to progress to the next round.
Those athletes performing well are the ones that train regularly. All pupils are welcome to attend cross country club on Monday and Friday lunchtimes. There are two groups operating with an elite group running quickly and a walk/run group for those wanting to build their fitness gradually. We also take a minibus to Carn Brea on Tuesday evenings to join Cornwall Athletic Club. Pupils are able to try a range of events including jumps, runs and throws. The most popular event at the moment is Pole Vault with many of our pupils making great progress.
