CHRIST'S Hospital School has achieved national success in athletics during the summer holidays.
Athletes Nick Ofonagoro and Saoirse Chinery-Edoo, both aged 14, have had a busy summer competing in the English Schools at Gateshead and the AAA outdoor UK under-15 championships at Birmingham.
Competing for Sussex in the English Schools, both athletes performed exceptionally well. Nick finished equal third in the final of the 80m hurdles and Saoirse finished fifth in the discus.
A month later in the outdoor championships Nick fell when leading his semi final in the hurdles but Saoirse achieved further national athletic success for the school when he achieved a personal best of 40.22m and a bronze medal in the discus.
