the sixth successive year one of the school’s senior teams returned
with medals: the Senior Girls’ team of Holly Rees, Emily James, Tiggy Llewellyn, and Hannah Meinertzhagen
won a bronze medal (finishing third) in their
category.
There were some notable
individual efforts, too, with Steffan Raw-Rees finishing in the top
twenty overall and Ben Wigmore, Davy Jones, and Sophie Meinertzhagen
all doing well in their age-groups.
