Avon Track and Field Results from 10/05/15

The provisional results are now on the AT&FL web site (these can be accessed through our website). We have started the season well, just being pipped into second place by Team Bath but it was close, with a bit of luck we could have come first! There was a real buzz about YOSC on Sunday and despite the chilly weather and head wind down the back straight there were some good performances. This was a really good ‘TEAM’ effort though, from our officials, (we loose points if we do not have enough), team managers, parents and athletes. What was outstanding on Sunday was the extra efforts being made, from Athletes who are starting their exams today, being so focused they did an event then went back to revising in a quiet spot somewhere, those senior athletes turning up in force to form the largest senior team for some time, to those who competed up an age or in an event they would definitely not claim is their favourite, not forgetting to mention those who competed for the first time!

The quad kids team also played their part with new athletes representing the club for the first time, despite two disappointed athletes, ill on the day, there were still some great performances, with Adam winning every event he was in, but again a ‘TEAM’ effort story similar to the older teams, great performances, (even in non preferred events) parental support, team manages and officials all doing their bit.

Thank you to every one who played their part, good luck with your exams over the coming weeks, and hope you are not to sore today for those that did something out of their usual comfort zone!!!

Next AT&F is @ Gloucester on 12/07/15 so make a note in your diary, we will need a full team to move up a place!
