On the (freezing cold!) afternoon of Wednesday 20th November, our Year 8/9 and Year 10/11 cross country teams competed in the City Schools Championships at The Sheepmount.
The course was slightly different this year, having changed from running around both fields, to a flat run around the perimeter of the pitches on the lower field. This suited our athletes perfectly, as proven by their excellent performance all round. Following the event, a record number of 13 of our students have been selected to represent Carlisle! To add to this, we also have a City Champion at the Academy, and our Year 10/11 Inter Boys team have ALL been selected to represent Carlisle – what an achievement!
Well done to #TeamMorton: Emily M, Emily S, Olivia T, Isabelle F, Llio R, Nancé W, Penny L, Dylan H, Joe R, Luke J, Thomas R, Jason B, Tom C, Jack M, Farron B, Emily T, Sofia E, Mia P, Ella W, Erin B, Hollie R, Joseph C, Jack R, Owen M, Bobby J, Dylan B and Logan S. All were an absolute pleasure to take to the event, and we are extremely proud of you all!
A huge congratulations to our Junior Boys City Champion - Dylan H, who ran an incredible race. We also recognise the inspiring sportsmanship displayed by the two students from another school who came 2nd and 3rd.
A further congratulations to Morton Academy athletes who have also been selected to represent Carlisle: Emily M, Joe R, Emily T, Sofia E, Mia P, Ella W, Joseph C, Jack Reay, Owen M, Bobby J, Dylan B and Logan S.
Well done! Mr Wilson
