Sixty-five young athletes from SNHAC and HAWCS travelled to Peterborough for the third EYAL match of the season.
A warm, windy day saw some great performances from the youngsters. U13 Hazel Spitzer had a good day winning the 1500m, DT and B string HJ. U15 Enid Whitten won the SP and DT and there were B wins from Millie Cunnington in the HJ and Rose Cook in the LJ. U17 Abigail Manson won the 1500m. Many of the Club’s U17 girls were not available for this match and team manager Melissa Doran was delighted that 5 of the U15 youngsters stepped up to support the U17 girls and also delighted with those girls who took on unfamiliar events to gain the team points. The U15 Girls won their age group.
