Team Wandsworth are on their way to the Copper Box Arena for the London Panathlon final after winning the West London Panathlon Plate title.
The team of pupils from Paddock Secondary School, Oak Lodge and Penwortham Primary School put in a dominating display to win the west London plate final and earn a place at the Olympic Park.
Over 160 pupils from 21 schools took part on another thrilling finals day, featuring back-to-back finals at St Mary’s College University in Twickenham, with the team from Sutton repeating their victory from last year to secure a place in the London champions final.
For plate winners Wandsworth, it will be a first visit to the Copper Box, much to the delight of the team, including Jess Russell, sports coordinator at Paddock School.
“Oh my gosh, we are so excited! We’ve never won anything before,” said Jess. “It was amazing. The children did so well and they are going to be so happy.
“To go to the Olympic Park will be amazing and these guys will get such a sense of pride in being able to do that. Everyone in the school will be so excited. This will mean a lot to everyone.”
Wandsworth (52 points) won a thrilling plate final by just two points from Ealing (50), with Hounslow (40) in third and Kingston (26) in fourth.
