John Masefield attended the District Athletics competition, where 44 students from Year 7 through to 10 took part. All students competed fiercely and were proud to compete for John Masefield. 15 students qualified for the County Competition after winning or taking second place in the District competition.
On Saturday 8th June, 7 John Masefield students from years 9 and 10 competed in challenging athletics conditions. All students performed well and showed determination throughout their events.

Rueben Taylor-George won the High Jump after clearing a great height of 1.65m, he was very close to jumping 1.70m (his PB and National qualification height). Rueben thrived under the pressure of the crowd and finely tuned his technique in very wet and cold conditions.
