Inter Squadron Athletics


We had an excellent day at the Essex Wing Inter Squadron athletics competitions yesterday with 5 cadets from the squadron participating.

In the senior girls competitions:

Brookes came 5th in the 800m.
Mitchell came 1st in the 100m, 2nd in the 200m and 2nd in the long jump.

These results combined put 2393 5th in Essex Wing for the senior girls category.


In the B boys competitions:

Andrews came 4th in the high jump.
Boyle came 7th in the 800m.
Cpl Donley came 2nd in the discuss, 3rd in the 400m and 4th in the shot put.


And in the C boys competitions:

Wilby came 2nd in the discus.


The achievements were excellent and all go towards 2393's achievement in 2015. There does still need to be more participation from other cadets in the squadron. We had no entry in the A boys category (12-15 age group), which dropped us down the league table significantly. Our squadron has 7 boys who were eligible for the A category; I am hoping for a greater turnout in our next sporting competition, which is the inter squadron swimming. Dates will be advised once advertised.


Very well done to all cadets that participated this year.
