STEEPLECHASE<br />
The annual <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Kelly</strong> Steeplechase made a welcome return to the Prep on a beautiful afternoon in March <strong>2022</strong>. This event<br />
runs as an inter-house competition and involved pupils from Years 3 to 13 and included a Parents’ and Staff Race with over<br />
400 runners competing this year. Route lengths varied from 1 to 2.1km across the year groups, with the course designed as<br />
a genuine steeplechase, including woods, open fields and hill climbs in 10 different categories of age races. The courses certainly<br />
show off the amazing grounds we have at the Prep. All participants received points for their House, with top finishers gaining more<br />
towards the total. Fry was declared this year’s winner at the Prep with 148 points, whilst in the College event, the vertical house<br />
system certainly added some atmosphere and excitement to the races with Conway winning with 99 points.<br />
