On Thursday 14th, Marden took no less than 48 students to Churchill Playing Fields for an afternoon of Cross Country, with a range of boys and girls groups of all years competing to try and qualify for the North Tyneside heats at Temple Park, South Shields in January.
There were good performances all round, with Josiah Riley finishing highest of the Boys Inters with a 5th place finish out of 90 competitors; there were also strong runs from Sam Tupling in 10th, Mark Strasshine in 11th, Kieran Rudd in 14th and Mark Butcher finishing 15th.
The girls Inters also enjoyed success, with four Marden Year 10s finishing in the Top 12, the best place of the whole afternoon going to Amy Hedworth who came 3rd. Meanwhile, Leodhais Macpherson ran impressively for the Junior Boys, crossing the finish line in 4th place.
Well done to everyone who took part and good luck to those who qualified for the next heat.
The Year 9 boys basketball team maintained their unbeaten start to the season on Thursday night, beating John Spence and Whitley Bay to remain top of the North Tyneside league! Well done lads.

Our Year 8 team and Year 9 mentors have started filming their reports for the first Practice News Day of the year. Here are some of the lads deeply concentrating during our morning briefing:
Newcastle Eagles coach Fabulous Flournoy visited Marden on Tuesday to talk about his upbringing, his basketball career, and to give a motivational as part of our ongoing plan to raise achievement amongst Year 9 and Year 10 boys. Fab was entertaining throughout, and stayed to sign autographs and pose for photographs after the session.
