Senior physics challenge worth including silver result if applying to oxford

Hiya, i just got my senior physics challenge result back, getting 22/50 and a silver, and im wondering if this would look bad on a UCAS personal statement when applying to oxford, but i could write about how after taking it it i felt i had done very well and was encouraged to do the year 13 physics challenge and hopefully get onto the olmpiad. I'm not sure if it'd be a bad thing to put on a personal statement, cause it's not gold and Oxford might be fussy especially ass im applying for physics, but a teacher did say that a few years ago one of her students got bronze, put it on her UCAS, and got into oxford physics, so, im not really sure tbh. Thanks!

I wouldn't get too hung up about it. There are more impressive and personal things to write about on your personal statement.

Go ahead and mention it. It is a good achievement. Instead of just saying I got a silver say what have you learnt from it.
