On the 16th May, Wrekin College triathletes enjoyed a spectacular morning of racing at the Oswestry Childrens Aquathlon held at Morton Hall School near Oswestry.  In what proved to be the most popular race of the season so far, Wrekin racers held good form and determination to deliver the goods!

The Under 11 girls (Tristar 1) saw some fantastic racing, with seconds separating the top places. The distances were 150m swim and 1200m run; Jess Humphreys came 3rd (9mins, 12s), Tess Sanders 4th (9mins, 16s) and Charlotte Nicholl 6th (9mins, 39s).

Setting a blistering pace in the Under 13 boys (Tristar 2) Jack Sanders secured first place in a time of 10mins, 08s for the course of 200m swim and 1800m run.  This was the first aquathlon of the year for Charlotte, Tess and Jack.

Melanie Humphreys - Wrekin's Triathlon Secretary said:
All competitors performed really well and this was a great achievement!
