Student PE teachers from the University of Bedfordshire gained invaluable experience by organising a county-wide schools athletics event.
The students helped stage the annual Bedfordshire and Luton Schools’ Combined Athletics Championships once more at the Bedford International Athletics stadium.
Mark Bowler, a Senior Lecturer in Physical Education at the University, took care of the pre-event organisation before the students took control on the day.
He said: “The event was a great success and the students worked really hard to make sure it ran smoothly. It is fantastic experience for them to run such an important event and I was pleased with their professionalism and enthusiasm.”
More than 50 Year Three and Year Four PE student teachers were involved with all aspects of organisation including officiating, inputting data/recording, announcing, refereeing, timekeeping and place judging.
As well as an individual competition for boys and girls at junior and intermediate level, there was a team competition in which the aggregate scores of the top three athletes from each school counted.
The juniors competed in 75m hurdles, shot putt, high jump, long jump and 800m. The intermediate girls took part in 80m hurdles, high jump, long jump, javelin and 800m, while the boys threw the discus and ran 1500m (instead of the javelin and 800m).
The top three individuals were:
Junior girls: 1 - Christine Munelly (Lincroft) 2011 points, 2 – Jacklyn Fioravanzo (Beauchamp) 2007 pts, 3 – Eavion Richardson (Lealands) 1922 pts.
Junior boys: 1 – Remel Ramsarran (Beauchamp) 2284 points, 2 – James Reaper (Bedford Modern) 2229 pts, 3 – James Spragg (Robert Bloomfield) 2163 pts.
Inter girls: 1 – Katie Healey (Bedford High) 2302 points, 2 – Emily Cartledge (Sharnbrook) 2209 pts, 3 – Rebecca Davies (Cedars) 2206 pts.
Inter boys: 1 – Josh Conway (Sharnbrook) 2655 points, 2 – Lamaar Smithson (Hastingbury) 2526 pts, Jaeden Potts (Sharnbrook) 2444 pts.
The top three schools in the team competitions were:
Junior girls: 1 - Lincroft 5375 points, 2 – Robert Bloomfield A team 5122 pts, 3 – Beauchamp 4836 pts.
