World Hyrox success for Miss Williams

We are delighted to celebrate the outstanding achievement of Miss Williams, Senior School PE teacher, who recently competed in the Hyrox World Championships in Chicago.

Hyrox is one of the fastest-growing global fitness competitions, combining endurance and strength in a format that tests both physical and mental resilience. The event consists of 8km of running, each kilometer followed by a demanding physical movement, including the ski erg, sled push, sled pull, row, farmer’s carry and walking lunges. It is a gruelling challenge designed to push even the most elite athletes to their limits.

After qualifying in Manchester earlier this year with a phenomenal performance – finishing 2nd out of 77 competitors in her age category and 22nd out of 575 overall – Miss Williams earned her place on the world stage. In Chicago, she went a step further by competing with pro weights (men’s weights) on all functional movements, a decision that demonstrated her exceptional determination and commitment to pushing boundaries.

She completed the world championship course in an extraordinary 1 hour and 18 minutes, an achievement that highlights not only her athletic ability but also her dedication to health, fitness and personal challenge.

As a member of our PE department, Miss Williams consistently inspires Bridgewater students to pursue active lifestyles, demonstrating through her own example the value of resilience, discipline and perseverance. Her success at the Hyrox World Championships serves as a powerful reminder that with hard work and determination, remarkable goals can be achieved.

We are incredibly proud of Miss Williams and look forward to seeing how her sporting journey continues to inspire our school community.
