PE Students of the Month – January

Congratulations to the following students who are our PE Stars of the Month!

Hockey

• A massive well done to the senior hockey team who have recently been in action. On Monday 13th January, they played Simon Balle school and, in very wet and cold conditions, won 6-0. On Monday 20th, they played Parmiters and drew 1-1 after a very close battle! Well done girls – some great hockey!
• The Year 7 and 8 hockey teams played Simon Balle last week. The games were played in an excellent spirit with Presdales showing a high level of commitment and lovely skills throughout. Both teams won comfortably with the Year 7 team running out 10-0 winners and the Year 8 team winning 3-0. Well done girls, great performances!

Sportshall Athletics

• The athletes were in action last week at Lee Valley Athletics Centre for the District Indoor Athletics competition. They were all brilliant and performed so well individually and in the relay. Well done girls!!
  Results –
  Minor girls – 2nd
  Junior girls – 3rd
  Inter girls – 4th
  Overall we came 2nd and only 5 points off 1st so it was very close!
  Special mentions to those who came 1st in their events-
  Martha Ker – minor hurdles
  Jess Downing – junior hurdles
  Maddie Stewart – inter hurdles
  Ellie Bostock – junior shot (new pb of 11.53m!!)
  Seren Miller – junior triple jump

  Minor girls relay team!
• Bethany Botheras and Alice Lynn in Year 7 represented Hertfordshire in the East Regional Sportshall Athletics Finals yesterday at Essex University. Unfortunately, the U13 girls’ team were 2 members down on the day and therefore couldn’t score in all events, but both girls thoroughly enjoyed representing the county and did brilliantly in their individual team and field events. Well done girls!
