Form 3 to 6 Stowe Athletics Tournament 2022

29 Senior House children represented St John’s at the annual Stowe School Athletics Tournament in May 2022, with both track and field events.  On the track, the children competed in: 75m, 100m, 150m, 200m, 300m, 600m, 800m and 1500m races and the field events included long jump, high jump, discus, shot, javelin and ball throw. The relays marked the finale to this successful event where many SJCS athletes took the chance to shine.

Director of Sport, Mr Gareth McComb, commented, ‘We have many good athletes across the school with plenty of potential and it is terrific to see them get the chance to perform in these events. The whole St John’s athletic team can be very proud of their efforts. We had impressive wins in the high jump, 300m and middle distance events with one Form 6 boy winning both the 800m and 1500m; which is quite an achievement.’

One SJCS competitor remarked, 'I loved the team feeling of taking part in the relay and the excited anticipation I felt before the start. There were so many schools competing that day and it was such a memorable experience being able to represent the school and take part.'
