On a showery Bank Holday Monday, two of our new recruits enjoyed a succesful day in the last of Trafford's Under 15 Medal meetings of the year.
Ben Johnson built on his promising recent debut in the U15 boys 800m, knocking a second off his previous best to finish 2nd and collect silver in a time of 2.20. He followed this with an excellent first competitive effort in the long jump for bronze with 4m53 and rounded off his day with a PB of 27.1 in a hot 200m heat.
Jessica Halstead's confidence grew through her set of U13 girls discus throws, with her final effort of 15m23 bringing her a very good 4th place. She then added almost 50cm to her PB in the long jump with best of 3m35 and finished off a highly promising day's work with a PB of 6m08 in the shot putt.
Ben and Jess were ably supported by two of our more experienced competitors, with Charlotte Bowker posting a highly respectable 29.1 into a strong headwind for joint 5th in the 200m and Natasha Banjac enjoynig a useful speedwork exercise with times of 14.6 in the 100m and 30.4 in the 200m, both good efforts in blustery conditions.
Well done to all our athletes and thanks to their parents and friends for their support.
