ENGLISH SCHOOLS’ TRACK & FIELD CHAMPIONSHIP REPORT
ALEXANDER STADIUM, BIRMINGHAM
FRIDAY 12th & SATURDAY 13th JULY 2024
The 93rd English Schools’ Track & Field Championships was held again in Birmingham this year. Athletes representing Lancashire competed in all age categories (Junior, Inter and Senior) against athletes from all over the country, over two days.
The weather was cool and cloudy with occasional drizzle on both days. Saturday was the better day with sunshine appearing during the parade! Not quite what you would expect at the time of year!
The team of 40 athletes competed strongly over both days with 32 track athletes and 8 field athletes.
A total of 8 medals were won by Team Lancashire athletes at the Championships (2 Gold, 3 Silver and 3 Bronze). 7 of the Track athletes who had heats for their events qualified for the finals on the Saturday.
