Harriers top show in GM Schools event

Gina Thornton, Tom Kramer and Jack Walsh all represented Rochdale Schools in the Greater Manchester Schools Championships at Trafford AC.

Gina's change of tactics in the 800m paid big dividends as she smashed her previous best, finishing third in a new PB of 2 mins 27. This was enough for Gina to qualify for selection to represent Greater Manchester in next Saturday's Inter-County Championships at the Alexandra Stadium, Birmingham.

Tom got through the first phase of the long jump competition and finished an overall 6th in his section with a best of 4m 50.

Jack ran well in a hotly contested 800, recording a new PB of 2.30 in finishing 7th.

Well done to all three of our athletes for an excellent set of performances
