Taking Talent to the Top
If you aren’t training today, someone else will be…
Many congratulations to the following Academy Athletes who all competed in the South
West Indoor Championships at Cardiff on Sunday 5 January 2014 -
Georgia Silcox took the silver medal in the U17W 60m hurdles with a time of 9.68s, her 1st race since moving into the U17 age group. She won a bronze medal in long jump with a distance of 4.73m.
Claudia Lavender took the bronze medal in the U17W 60m hurdles with a time of 9.89s. Best performance in the long jump was 3.76m. Claudia contested the pole vault the following week in another indoor appearance, and vaulted 3.00m, just short of her pb. This gave her 5th place but considering she was competing in a higher year group this was a great result!
Natalia Isherwood produced an outstanding performance to win the gold medal in the U15G 60m hurdles with a very nippy time of 9.29s. She also contested the high jump with a best performance of 1.40m and another gold medal.
Emilia Tanner in her 1st indoor championships ran 8.63s in the 60m sprint for 5th place, 10.69s in the 60m hurdles for 4th place, and 6.90m in shot for another 4th place.
