Sporting Success for Former Students

Ryan Todhunter

We were exceptionally proud to see our former student Ryan Todhunter compete in the final of the America’s Cup in Barcelona. Ryan was part of the INEOS Brittania team who had a historic run to the final. Although they didn’t come away with the win, it was a remarkable achievement for the team and on an individual level for Ryan, who has achieved his personal success due to his fantastic work ethic, talent and dedication. This is the latest success story in a remarkable few months for our former students in sporting arenas around the globe.

Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes continues to excel as the captain of the England men’s test cricket team. In the last twelve months Ben has led the side to a string of impressive victories and has become one of the most recognisable faces in the world game. Ben is now talked about as an outstanding leader, as well as being an incredibly talented individual. We are very proud of his ongoing achievements.

Luke Greenbank

Luke Greenbank featured in the Paris summer Olympics, representing Great Britain in the 200m backstroke event. A multiple winner, with medals from previous Olympics, World and European championships, we know that Luke has the dedication and ability to return to the podium in upcoming events.

James Trafford

James Trafford has made big strides forward in his career as goalkeeper, representing Burnley FC with distinction in the Premier League. James was also selected as part of England’s provisional 33 man squad for Euro 2024. A strong start to the new season, has seen James linked with a big money move back into the Premier League. We wish him every success.

Jonny Edgar

Jonny Edgar has also had a terrific few months as he makes spectacular progress in his motorsport career. A former member of the Red Bull Junior Team, Jonny is now performing fantastically well in the European Le Mans series for AO by TF, in his debut season he has had a title winning season with his team and is set to go on and achieve huge success in the next few years.

We are extremely proud of all of our former students, but we are delighted to highlight these five young people for their outstanding performance. 

When we tell our students that anything is possible, it is fantastic to be able to provide the evidence from those that have walked the corridors of Cockermouth School in the last few years.
