Abingdon School

The aim of the Athletics Club is to produce excellent athletes by enabling pupils to develop their natural abilities to the full, while providing an opportunity for all those with an interest to learn and to develop their talents. The club intends to achieve this through a structured programme of coaching by a committed staff team and through regular competition. Coaching is provided in the full range of events; on the track: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m and hurdles; and in the field: shot, javelin, discus, high jump, long jump and triple jump. We compete against a large number of schools and have reached regional finals. We are also involved in various relay competitions, both local and national. In addition, pupils have the chance to compete in schools’ county competitions.
