Tonight we celebrated the 25/26 Junior Athletic season with prize-giving. Many thanks to our parents, guardians and volunteers who enabled our club nights to take place over the season, we could not do it without you all.

Special shout out to Jonny for his years of dedication to the club 👏

We recognized many talented athletes tonight, with some of our special awards going to:
💫Mila (13G)
💫 Josh (12B)
💫Katie (11G)
💫 Charli (10G)
💫💫Arlo (8B) who received the penthlon cup, for most points by a club member at our Pentathlon - this is the first time (in a long time/possibly on record) that an athelete under 10 years old has received this award. Arlo also broke many club records over the season.

💫 Elise received the volunteer cup for her incredible contribution - in particular for the tiny tot programme. We would love to be able to clone Elise!

For those athletes who enjoy cross country running - check out our Cambridge Harriers FB page. If members sign up for Harriers, this also includes membership for the athletic season (for the same price)

👀 Check out this cool video of How to DAD interviewing the amazing Tori Moorby… you may recognise the location 🙌

From a very safe distance, watch How to DAD take on Olympic javelin thrower Tori Moorby. How hard can it be to throw the big, pointy stick further than your opponent... right?
