It has been two months since Serena in Lower IV took part in the County Schools Combined Events Competition, and last weekend was the regional round. She was part of a four-strong Berkshire team, competing against seven other counties.

It was a long and tiring day for all involved, as the first event started at 11am and the final event finished at 6pm.

There was personal and county success in the end with qualification for the national final and winning 1st place in the team competition. Overall Serena came 4th, leading the Berkshire team and her score was the 10th highest ranked points score in the country across all the six regional rounds.

She is looking forward to the finals in late September.
