Kent School Athletics Championships 2026:
Congratulations to the following Wye students who all won medals competing for Ashford District at the Kent Schools Championships held at Bromley on Saturday.
Year 8 - Emma - Junior Girls High Jump, Silver
Year 9 - Dillon - Junior Boys 300m, Gold (pictured below)
Year 11 - Richard - Intermediate Boys 100m, Bronze
Emma is currently ranked joint first in the UK at U14 for High Jump and narrowly lost out to her closest rival on Saturday in a head to head for gold. Dillon ran an incredible time of 36.95s in the 300m, which is a new championship record and one tenth of a second off of national standards. Richard raced for the first time this season and performed very well considering his lack of track time this summer through Year 11 exam season.
Well done to Emma, Dillon, and Richard for all their hard work training and competing. They will now go on to represent Kent in the Inter Counties Championships this coming Saturday. We wish them luck!
