Our athletes all performed with great credit in their individual and relay events, putting in some excellent performances including some PBs.

In the under 15 boys team, GEORGE LEWIS and SAM EMERY-SHAWCROSS were big factors in the team’s close 2nd place finish. Sam led the 4×2 relay team to an easy win and also won his own 2 lap individual heat, while George produced a cracking PB performance in the speed bounce
Finally, in the under 15 girls team, REGAN WALKER was overall 2 lap winner and won the parlauf with her colleague from Trafford in a thrilling race. The seconditis continued, however, with the GM girls being pipped for the title by just four points.
