SPORTS SUCCESSISA National Triathlon 2026
On Friday, 1st May, eight pupils from Sherfield competed in the ISA National Triathlon at Ipswich High School.
This venue is fantastic for a triathlon, and the event is organised very professionally. Participants begin with a swim, then run outside to their bikes to complete the cycling section. After racking their bikes, they set off on their run.
The Sherfield pupils ranged from Year 4 to Year 9, with the distances increasing as the participants got older. The bike and run courses are on undulating grass, featuring a few hills, so the event is certainly challenging. This year, our amazing pupils achieved four top-10 finishes, with two completing their first triathlon at this event. Many of the competitors have another year in their age group, so next year already looks promising!
- TS1 (9-10)
5th male Alexander C (Y5)
11th female Daisy G (Y4)
15th female Otilia G (Y4)
- TS2 (11-12)
24th male Dylan K (Y5)
4th female Cressida M (Y6)
- TS3 (13-14)
6th male Luke W (Y7)
9th male Caiden G (Y9)
15th male Alex W (Y8)
(Luke and Caiden were assumed to be in the oldest age group and were sent on a longer run loop than they should have done)
A huge well done to all of them!
