Students Hannah and Paige Campion have been working hard this term to raise the profile of Cross Country at Highfields and increase participation in the sport. The sisters both represented Staffordshire in the Inter-Counties Cross Country Championship held at Cofton Park, Birmingham on Saturday 8th March.
Hannah, a Year 12 student, has also played a major role in leading and coaching students every Monday after school in preparation for the Wolverhampton City Cross Country Championship at Aldersley Leisure Village on Tuesday 25th March.
A tremendous team effort achieved two individual gold medals for Adam Saul-Braddock, Year 7 Boys, and Hannah Campion Senior Girls.
