Giggleswick School pupil and Settle resident, Jack Sanderson, has received a remarkable honor by being selected to represent the North Yorkshire Schools team in the Intermediate Boys 3000m race at the prestigious English Schools Track and Field Championships.

The news of his selection for the English Schools Track and Field National Finals is a testament of how hard he has worked alongside our Athletics and Running Coach Alistair Scholey.”
