About two weeks ago, Holly represented Beauchamps High School at the District Athletics Championships in the shot putt. Luckily, the event was held on a Friday over lunchtime, and as I usually work from home on Fridays, I was able to take an extended lunch break to go along and cheer her on.
Holly had three throws in total. Unfortunately, her first and third attempts were ruled as fouls after both drifted left and landed out of bounds. Her second throw measured an impressive 5.52 meters, which earned her 12th place out of a field of 17 competitors. Even better, she finished as the highest-placed girl from her school and came very close to matching her personal best.

Tina also had the pleasure of attending a special Maths Presentation Evening after receiving a coveted invitation on Holly's behalf. We were incredibly proud to see Holly recognised with an Outstanding Effort and Commitment certificate—a well-deserved reward for all the hard work and dedication she has shown throughout the year.
