Saturday 11th July:
Lucia was in action in the U15 250mH finishing 9th overall, a mere 0.01 secs off making the final. Well done Lucia on a great first season in the event👏.
Sarah ran a strong heat in the U14 200m and was rewarded with a place in the final. A determined run from a difficult lane 1 saw her finish 8th overall. Well done Sarah on making your first National final💪.
🥉Bronze for Ishan🥉
Ishan had a busy day, competing in both the U18 shot and javelin. He finished just off the podium in 4th place in the shot, 20cm shy of bronze. It was a quick dash to the javelin runway where he claimed a brilliant bronze🥉🎉 with his 4th round throw of 46.49m . Huge congratulations Ishan on 2 super performances 👏👏.
