There were separate competitions for Year Eight and Nine students as every competition took part in four events: a sprint, a throw, a jump and an 800m race.

All the girls should be commended for their efforts and enthusiasm, but it was Lytham St Annes Technology and Performing Arts College who emerged the overall winners in both year groups.
