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!

This is for the bpho written paper right?

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.
