John Kyrle High School athletes were busy again recently, taking part in the Hereford District trials. In warm conditions, the Year 7 and 8 athletes performed well, with the best performance of the day coming from Kai Harris in the long jump with a distance of 4m 73cms.

On the track, the Year 7s competed well; Faith Robbins and Jake Ashley both gained a place in the District squad for the 800m whilst in the field events, Emily Hermon and Cale Thurston threw personal bests in the discus and shot respectively to both qualify for the County Finals.

Olivia Porczynska saved her best till last in the long jump to also make the next round. In addition, Ivor Harrington finished his morning with a punishing schedule, running both the 300m and 200m, with his efforts helping him qualify in the latter.

These athletes will now compete again at the County Championships in Worcester, where they will be hoping to claim a medal for their efforts.
