Taunton School win clean sweep in historic swimming competition
Students from Taunton School have achieved success at the historic Meade King Cup.
The competition, in its 100th year, is the longest-standing school sport competition in the world involving more than two schools and includes Taunton School, King's College, Queen's College, and Wellington School.
The event sees students compete in a range of swimming disciplines and styles.
This year, 30 students from Taunton School's Years nine to 13 took part and won all six cups, with the senior boys beating their own record set last year in the freestyle relay.
Beth Mottram, head of swimming, said: "It is an honour for our students to participate in the historic and prestigious Meade King Cup once again.
"The dedication from all swimmers and staff, across all four schools, continues a one-hundred-year legacy of competitiveness and camaraderie.
"I am incredibly proud of the humility, spirit, and effort displayed by the Taunton School swimmers."
