Arthur and Florence champion excellence
We are immensely proud to share the remarkable sporting achievements of talented siblings, Arthur and Florence. Representing Bridgewater School with determination and passion, they have showcased their athletic prowess in recent cross country championships, both bringing home well-deserved accolades.
Year 7’s Arthur delivered an outstanding performance in this year’s regional qualifier of the ISA Cross Country Championships. His exceptional run earned him a silver medal and the honour of representing the North of England in the national finals. Supported by fellow student, Joel, who was sadly forced to pull out of the final due to injury, Arthur secured a highly commendable position in the top 20, marking a fantastic accomplishment for himself and Bridgewater School.
Meanwhile, Florence, a pupil in Prep V, demonstrated her talent by earning the opportunity to represent Salford Schools in the Schools Championships for Years 5 and 6. An impressive performance led to a top 10 selection, with Florence finishing as the 4th girl for Salford and contributing as a valuable points scorer. Despite her young age, Florence also displayed marvellous resilience by representing Bridgewater in the ISA Cross Country event at Scarisbrick Hall, narrowly missing out on national qualification after a fall.
Beyond their school endeavours, both Arthur and Florence continue to exhibit excellent dedication to their sport by training and competing for the Salford Mets Athletic Club. Competing within the younger year of their respective age divisions, they participate in races across the north west, tirelessly working towards their goals and achieving remarkable success. Their efforts have been rewarded with a range of team and individual awards in the South East Lancashire League, truly reflecting their passion and spirit.
As a school we take pride in nurturing the holistic development of all out students and commend Arthur and Florence on their outstanding attitudes. Congratulations!
