Stover School’s Team Managers Colin Brown and Amanda Head were very proud of all the pupils who took part in this year’s events. Anna-Mae Cole tackled the Jubilee Challenge JC3 event walking almost 13 miles to earn herself a gold medal and is now determined to have a go at an even more challenging route next year.
Stover’s 35 mile and 45 mile teams crossed the finishing line within 20 minutes of each other and although the strong sunshine but wet conditions underfoot had made for tough going at times, they all certainly felt it had been worthwhile and for the younger students taking part for the first time, it was the experience of a life time.
Jessica Doyle, 35 mile Team Captain said, “It was harder than I had ever imagined, but to finish and see everyone waiting for us was something I will never forget – it was amazing!”
