St Richards sporting glory

This has been a successful month on track and field at St. Richard's Catholic College.

Around 60 pupils represented the college at the annual secondary school Town Sports Event held at the William Parker track in Hastings.

St. Richard's athletes won a large collection of individual medals with year 8 pupil, Loewy Simmons, being the only competitor on the day to win three different events.

Another pleasing success was for the year 10 girls' team who won their respective year competition.

When all the points were added together for all year groups, St. Richard's retained the Spar Cup for the fourth year running.
