A TEAM of 14 students represented Colfox Academy at the Dorset Schools Athletics Championships at Kings Park on Saturday.
After a spell of miserable weather the sun shone and conditions, although a little blustery, were pretty good for athletics.
Colfox had some excellent results with top performances from Olivia Willmore and Katie Evans.
Willmore won the javelin and the 300-metre hurdles, achieving the English Schools standard. Evans, in her first championships, won both the 100m and 200m.
