Track & Field
The 2026 season will be a challenging one for Schools' Athletics. The major hurdles will be the fact that English Athletics and English Schools have choosen to use different Age Groups for the season. We have also not been able to secure enough support to run our own, standalone Schools Competition. We will run a competition alongside the Suffolk County Competition (more details on T&F Page), but this will be run under the new Even Age Groups, so there will need to be some work done after the event to select teams for both the Regional and National Competitions.
For now we encourage you to submit results from any official competitions you take part in. Please note that by making a submission, you are putting yourself forward for selection and agree to be available for both the Regional competition, which will be held in Kings Lynn on 21st June and the National Competition, which will be held on the 10th & 11th July. The exception to this would be a National or International event that clashed with the Regional date. If this is the case please let us know well in advance.
A link to the submissions form is on the T&F Page.
Cross Country
Well done to all our athletes who represented Suffolk Schools at Liverpool in the English Schools Cross Country Championships at Liverpool.
There were some incredible individual and team performances, details on the Cross country page.
Cross Country Secretary and Inters Team Manager, Sue Hargadon and Juniors Team Manager, Mark Goddard have both stepped down from their roles after many years of service to Suffolk Schools Cross Country.
We take this opportunity to thank them for their enthusiasm, dedication and hard work over many years.
Thankfully we have had volunteers to help for this season and beyond, however we are always looking for more help in organising, coaching, marshalling at our events, please contact Chloe Godbold if you would like to help.
We have recently been sent these 2 documents below.
Suffolk Schools Athletics Association was formed in 1926 and these documents show all the athletes who have performed incredibly well at National level.
