Chloe Wheeler from John Kyrle High School has qualified for the English Schools’ Cross Country Finals after finishing third in the Senior Girls’ race at the Hereford and Worcester Schools’ Cross Country Championships last Saturday. The race was held in Sanders Park, Bromsgrove on muddy, forested tracks which ensured plenty of action in the race.

Chloe will now travel with the rest of the county team to Norwich on the weekend of March 17th to compete against some of the best athletes in the country.

John Kyrle also has another athlete, Briony Bishop, hoping to travel to the finals.

Briony finished in 10th place in the Intermediate Girls’ race. Only the top eight athletes are guaranteed selection with a further four waiting in the wings in case of injury so Briony will have to wait patiently to see if she gains a place.
