Young Athletes Indoor Triathlon Results - 22 March 2015

There were some very good performances by several of our young athletes. Mathew achieved PBs across all three events he competed in, which is exactly what we want from our young multi-eventers. I think Libby's Long Jump & Throw indicate really good potential and I was extremely pleased for Daniel who picked up the U9 boys bronze medal with consistently good performances across all three Run, Jump and Throw events.

The sprinting looked good and was good with some excellent PBs from Frank, Lauren and Sofia. Lauren has now got a UK ranking (134th) for 60m in her U13 age group and Sofia as an U11 has an U13 UK Ranking of 214th. In her own age group, Sofia has a UK ranking of 8th. We are constantly as a group working on running drills, correct running mechanics and technique. This coupled with the excellent S & C work that Bill is doing with the group, is starting to produce seriously good results. The importance of speed across all athletic events cannot be overstated.

Lauren took her speed to the Long Jump run up and produced an excellent PB. A jump of 3.72m, an improvement of 30cm over her previous best performance.

All of the above was achieved at our very first T & F event of the season having just come out of the XC season. Wow!
