Harriers duo deliver in Regional Sportshall finals


Charlotte Bowker and Jenny Sherwin performed with great credit today when they were part of Greater Manchester's 3rd placed Under 13 Girls team in the Regional Sportshall Finals at Robin Park Arena, Wigan.


Jenny kicked off proceedings with an excellent first leg run in the 4x1 lap obstacle relay, helping her team to a 3rd place finish.


Charlotte then earned a bronze medal in the 6 lap, battling on despite suffering from a groin strain on the 4th lap when challenging for the lead. Fortunately the damage was only short term and, after a short break, she was able to claim a bronze in the vertical jump with a score of 51.


Jenny continued her good form in a highly competitive speed bounce, finishing just outside the medal placings with a score of 73.


Charlotte rounded off our athletes' participation, teaming up with Wigan's Natalie Thompson to finish 3rd in the 8 lap parlauf race.


Well done to both girls for their efforts and to their families for giving them great support all day.
