On 16th February children from St Mark’s took part in the British Schools Cyclocross Championships, hosted by Cycle Stars at Evesham Velopark.
There were 40 children representing 16 schools participating in the racing. The event started with some coaching and allowing children to test out the course. They then got the opportunity to watch the Cycle Stars Academy do a showcase race, showing off their skills, this included an ex pupil of St Mark’s, Izzy.
St Mark’s had riders competing in all three races. Each team member was focused and determined to the finish. It was a great morning of camaraderie and racing despite the cold weather and mud which made for an increasingly difficult course with each lap.
The team from St Mark’s put up a superb performance coming 3rd place overall. William from Year 5 also took 2nd place in the year 5 & 6 category.
Well done to all the children who took part. You are superstars and we are incredibly proud and impressed with your achievement.
