Year 8 student Andreya represented Barking and Dagenham at the Essex Athletics competition in Chelmsford on Saturday 7th June. Competing in the 800m Andreya led for the first 600m strong from the front but unfortunately was caught out in the last 200m by some very experienced club runners finishing in 5th place. However, it is a great achievement for Riverside students to be selected from the whole Borough to compete in such a high level competition. Lacey (year 7), Rejoice and Andreya (year 8) attended West Ham United u13 and u15 trials. In tough warm conditions the girls impressed on the pitch during the 2 hour training session. The Girls will hear by e-mail shortly if they have been successful. Good luck Girls and watch this space for the outcome of the trials!
