Colleges across the North West take part in Strongest Student competition
Students across the region visited Runshaw this week for the annual Strongman & Strongwoman competition.
Four of our Runshaw students joined others from Wigan & Leigh, Burnley, Blackpool Sixth Form, East Durham Salford Red Devils, TMP, Manchester, Cardinal Newman, Middlesborough and St John Rigby in a competition with three separate events: the deadlift, an overhead press and also a carry event.
Congratulations to all our participants, with first place positions awarded to East Durham (males) and Blackpool Sixth Form (females). The competition is now a yearly event, in partnership with the Association of Colleges (Sport). Last year, Runshaw students triumphed, with winners in both the male and female categories.
Our celebrated Sports Academy is also accessible to students as a daily, timetabled element of their study programme. Currently we have Academy teams in Football (male and female), Rugby Union and Netball. Our Academy also caters for individual students’ specialities in terms of physical conditioning: whatever their speciality is, we offer first class training in our purpose built gym.
