We are delighted to confirm that Aanya K in Year 9 was chosen to represent the London Borough of Merton in the recent Youth Games in the Cycling U16 category on the 1st June 2025.

Over 150 young cyclists represented 25 London boroughs in an exciting day of racing at the  iconic Lee Valley VeloPark, the event brought together young riders from across the capital.

The programme featured road races for Under 16 and Under 14 riders, each tackling 12 laps of the 1.6km outdoor circuit.

Riders also competed in Individual Time Trials (ITT), with U16s, U14s and U12s racing four laps, and U10s and U8s completing two laps each.

Across the day, five different boroughs claimed victory in their respective races, demonstrating the breadth of strong cyclists across London. All participating boroughs earned valuable points towards the overall Jubilee Trophy standings and the atmosphere throughout the day was competitive, supportive, and celebratory.

Congratulations Aanya on your achievement from us all at WHS.
