Wilson's School is proud to announce that Alex (Year 9) has been awarded his first England vest.

Alex has had a brilliant couple of weeks of Cross Country running. He put in a fantastic performance at the National English Schools' Cross Country Championships in Paddock Wood at the weekend, finishing in 2nd place with a time of 13mins 12 seconds, and narrowly missed out on first place. With this performance he has been awarded his England vest and will represent his country this coming weekend in an event in Pembrey in Wales. He also came 4th in the U15 (where he was a year younger than most runners) in the British Athletics Inter Counties competition the weekend before.

Our congratulations go to Alex following two great performances and we wish him all the best of luck in Wales this coming weekend.
