The competition is always very strong as some of the best schools in the North West are involved. Over 25 schools entered and everyone was blessed with glorious weather which was matched by scintillating performances from all the Kirkham athletes. Pride of place must go to our gold medallist, Leo Pareskeva who won the U10 boys High Jump. Listed below are the medallists, however, everyone performed very well with many athletes making finals and just missing out on medals. This was just reward as they have all worked very hard at lunch and evening training sessions. Kirkham hosting three successful fixtures also acted as perfect preparation for the championships. **GOLD MEDALS** U10 Boys High Jump Leo Paraskeva **SILVER MEDALS** U11 Boys 600 metres Gordan Ballantyne U10 Boys Cricket Ball Throw Sebastian Clarke U10 Boys Long Jump Bertie Jones U10 Girls Long Jump Evelyn So U10 Girls 150 metres Zara Gilchrist U11 Boys 4 x 100 metres Gordan Ballantyne Harry Marsh William de Klerk Alex Davies U10 Girls 4 x 100m Relay Hermione Edwards Issy Gutt Zara Gilchrist Evelyn So **BRONZE** U11 Boys Long Jump Harry Marsh Well done to you all! **Tags:** [2018-2019](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/2018-2019) [infantsandjuniors](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/infantsandjuniors) [Sports](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/sports) - [ previous](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/2019-06-17-hockey-flag-bearers) - [next ](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/2019-06-21-kgs-athletics-regional-finals) - [Mission Statement](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
