Pupils Shine Bright in Cross Country and Gymnastics Triumphs

122 children recently took part in three North West Leicestershire Cross Country Races. There were a combination of individual and team events, with Broom Leys’ young runners collecting a hoard of trophies and medals in both categories.

The Year 1 girls’ team picked up three individual accolades and came away with a team trophy. Meanwhile, two children in Year 2 and Year 5 both won an individual gold medal; the former having finished first in all of her races.

As a result of their efforts, four pupils were selected to represent North West Leicestershire at Prestwold Hall in Loughborough later in the year. Here, they will compete against runners from different counties around Leicestershire.

Pupils have also enjoyed similar success in gymnastics competitions, taking the top four individual places and the team award in a recent Level 1 competition; the Level 4 team also acquired bronze and gold medals alongside the team trophy.

Both of these teams will now represent North West Leicestershire in the County Finals in Rutland in March
