Ten youngsters from King Alfred’s Community & Sports College, Wantage, went head over heels to qualify for the National Schools’ Trampoline Championships in Bristol next month.
They secured their places with some outstanding results at the southern zonal round at Dagenham.
King Alfred’s entered boys in the event for the first time, and were rewarded with wins by Tim Godden in the under 19 novice boys’ competition, and Ben Goodall in the under 13 novice boys’ section.
They will be joined in Bristol on Sunday, March 14 by two girls teams.
Georgina Pettifer, Catherine Kirk, Jasmine Stacey and Hannah Norton went through after winning the under 13 novice girls’ group.
And Emily Smith, Francesca Claydon, Karis McDowall and Sarah Hosler progress after finishing runners-up to Tau-ntons College, Southampton, in the under 19 elite girls’ team event.
Claydon also finished a creditable sixth in the individual competition.
