In addition to Hannah Hobbs on International duty, there were several of our athletes not running due to injury and illness. Hopefully they will have been put forward for SW XC selection.
The SW XC teams will be published on the Avon Schools web site within the next couple of days.
Well the dust has settled and the results are in.
Katie Robbins is now the Target Sprint Junior British Champion and Josh Snook grabbed Bronze despite a bad back on the day, (at one point he wasn’t even sure he would be able to start in the final)
This is a fantastic result and a great reward for their hard work, learning to shoot as well as keeping their run training going. Well done to them both!
Alex Moulder has now finished his Invictus Games in Toronto, having competed in 100m and 200m sprints, he also did Discus, Shot putt, the cycle road race and Time trial as well as 50m breast stroke and free style, just narrowly missing out on a medal, he must be looking forward to getting home and a well deserved rest!
What an experience! Well done, cannot wait to catch up with him.
Following the recent home nations success for both Yvette Westwood in the Welsh International in Cardiff where she represented England (Midlands) in the 200 (25.02) and 100m (12.19) achieving second in both races and Jack Moore representing Wales in the Celtic games in Dublin (Bronze medal 1.85m), it is now time to look out for Beth Tucker who has been invited to race in the diamond league race (T37) on 20th Aug. This is being televised so watch out for times etc. We wish her all the best.
Fittingly the other date to put in your diary is the 14 October for our awards night and celebration of the year. This year its on a Saturday and will feature a disco as well as the buffet so please keep the date free for when the tickets go on sale.
Great result for Yvette in the Midland Counties U20 Championships at the weekend.
She took both 100m and 200m titles and has earned herself selection for England (Midlands) in the Welsh International in Cardiff on 12th July.
Her win at the weekend means Yvette has made a clean sweep of county sprints this year being U20 Midland Counties indoor Champion for 60m and 200m, U20 Avon County Champion for 100m and 200m and U20 Midland Counties Champion 100m and 200m.
Congratulation to Yvette for her great results, we wish her all the best for her U20 England debut in July, a testament to all the hard work she puts into her athletics.
Great news that Jacob Spence has been selected for the England U20 team for the international to be held tomorrow in Cardiff. Jacob will be competing in the 60mH and it is great to see all his hard work and performances over the years being recognised with his call up to the England team. We all wish him the best of luck.
Please see the attached report from GB Athletics. Congratulations to Adam.
