Junior Girls secure District Athletics title
Wednesday 13 May 2026 | By Samantha HockneyIt was an excellent day at the District Athletics Championships yesterday, where over 40 pupils travelled to Middlesbrough Sports Village to represent Teesside High School.
District Athletics Champions
Our Junior Girls dominated their category, winning the District Champions title by over 20 points, with the Intermediate Girls’ team taking 3rd.
Facing tough team competitions against more than 16 schools across the district, our pupils showed real determination and resilience throughout the day, achieving some excellent PBs and scoring valuable points for the team competitions.
Field events
In the field events, standout performances came from Annie and Olivia in the high jump, Betsy in the discus, Amelie in the shot and Oliver in the javelin.
Track events
On the track, Oliver also impressed with a fantastic 2nd place finish in a highly competitive 100m final. Lewis put in a strong performance to finish 2nd in the Intermediate Boys’ 400m final, while Lucy produced an impressive 1st place in the 800m. Annie added to her high jump success with an outstanding victory in the 300m and another personal best.
A special shout-out must go to our Junior Girls’ Captain, Tinashe, who dominated the sprint events with what can only be described as jaw-dropping victories in both the 100m and 200m. In both races, she was so far ahead that she was able to cruise across the line – an incredible athlete and performance.
Also, a huge well done to Rosie and Skyler who stepped in to run the 1500m – not their first-choice event – but they ensured points were fought for in every race. A fantastic attitude and team spirit shown by both athletes.
We now wait for confirmation of which athletes will go forward to represent Stockton at the next stage of the competition on Thursday 4 June.
