This is Grimsby --LORD Coe applauded two local schools for "excelling in sports" in a nationwide competition which was won by Humberston Academy.
Havelock Academy and Humberston Academy battled it out against four other secondary schools for the David Ross Academy Trust Summer Cup in Grantham.
Lord Sebastian Coe, chairman of the Olympic Committee, spent the day meeting the athletes and watching the competition, in which Humberston Academy emerged as the winning school.
Assistant principal Steve Kemshall said: "The students just exploded when they announced the winners – there was that feeling of 'my gosh, we've done it'.
"In ten years of teaching, this is the best extra-curricular activity I have been a part of.
"I would like to thank all the athletes, including Lord Coe, who really took the time to talk to the pupils and inspire them."
Lord Coe even tweeted a picture of Humberston Academy pupils, along with the message: "Having a great time watching the kids excelling in lots of sports in Grantham".
Also in the crowd were 100m runners Mark Lewis Francis and Christian Malcolm, 110m hurdler Andy Turner, table-tennis star Hannah Hicks and javelin thrower Goldie Sayers.

Long-jumper Jazmin Sawyers, who coached at Havelock, was cheering its students on and they finished fifth overall.
Jessica Thompson, sports enrichment co-ordinator for the trust, said: "We did quite well in the athletics but it a fantastic experience for the pupils who really enjoyed it.
