IT has taken four years but finally the Year of ‘06’ have won the Athletics League.
Three years of disappointment in finishing in the top three has ended with a win for the Year 10 boys in the Athletics League. After initially setting the pace, Walthamstow Academy had dropped into second place on the leader board and history looked to be repeating itself once again.
But faced with this prospect, Mr Mercer managed to galvanise his team to perform outstandingly in the final meeting of the competition.
The win is all the more remarkable because a number of students came in as replacements at the last minute and performed beyond what was expected.
Well done to the Year 10 team which consisted of Iuri Figurido, Samuel Safour, Aiden Coley-Lawerence, Riaz Hedayat, Dilani Douglas, Faisal Sedeqi, Daniel Alam, Andre Small, Harry Littlechild and Jamie Fahey.
