Twins Triple Title delight at the Nationals

Bright World’s partner school, Stover took the National Prep Schools Athletics Championships by storm yesterday as Luke Bowen-Price and his twin sister Milly Bowen-Price went above and beyond expectations at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham.

Luke won the Under 13 Discus title with an all-time record-breaking throw of 43.56m. He then followed-up this performance by winning the Under 13 Shot Putt with a new Nationals record distance of 13.97m.

Milly battled the elements to finish 2nd in the U13 Shot Putt with a distance of 9.67m and then, with her last throw of the competition, she became U13 Discus Champion with a throw of 25.99m

Last week, Luke was competing at the evening athletics meeting, run by Exeter Harriers, and he recorded a distance of 14.48m, the longest Shot Putt ever by an Under 13 UK athlete.

Lancashire is a new area for us and Rossall School is an important new partner for Bright World.  We also went along with Liz Trist, our new Local Coordinator for Lancashire.

Stover School succeeds in abundance at Ten Tors 2012

Ten Tors 2012

One of Bright World's partner School's were made very proud at Ten Tors this year! 


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!”
