The winning Senior relay team consisted of Felipe L (Lower Sixth), Nahum F (Lower Sixth), Toby S (Lower Sixth) and Taylor M (Upper Fifth). Nahum also achieved 4th place in the Year 12 individual race.
The team was made up of 50 pupils, including 19 girls and 31 boys. The School has competed at this event for many years but this was the first time Year 7 and 8 pupils also took part.
