County Road Race Championships 2008
Junior Inter-Counties (U13/U15)
13th September 2008, at Grimsby (Team Manager: Kelly King)
All our young athletes ran, jumped and threw to the best of their ability (many in events which were not their favourites!) - many thanks to all of them. We did well to come 6th given the late notice and lack of availability of many athletes (we had no athletes in several middle-distance races). Everyone did well but excellent performances were given by David Williams (Hurdles), Jenna Rayner (100m) and Ik Eruchie (Discus) who all won their events. [Please contact us if you would like a copy of the results Special thanks go to Kelly King for taking up the challenge of Team Manager at such late notice! We'll be ready for next year now...
Marathon for a United Europe, September 2008
Report from the UK team to England Athletics (full report can be obtained by contacting us on the site)
We can never thank England Athletics enough for giving this group of young athletes the opportunity to take part in this event. The whole trip - visiting Athens, running the classic marathon course and staying in an international athletes’ camp was a marvellous experience but all agreed that wearing GBR on their chests will be a highlight of their whole lives. [We were the UK team in the programme and all banners, labels etc, GB in everything concerned with the race, including GBR ‘numbers’, and wore England Athletics on our shirts. We were happy to be all three!]
Many thanks once again on behalf of the whole team,
Madeleine Lomas, Marathon for a United Europe, September 2008
