Trafford Open Medal Meeting - 2nd May 2016

Congratulations to Harvey for competing in his first Track & Field event. He seemed to thoroughly enjoy it and that is always a really good starting point.

A number of good PBs and I was particularly pleased with Ella's approach to the Shot which started in training the other day with Jonah and was translated into competition and a UK ranking. No point in doing one thing in training and then doing something completely different in Competition! A message for many of our young athletes. Well done Ella! The other two performance highlights were Lauren's PB in the 800m and Jonah's PB in the Hurdles. Both very well deserved.

More importantly, the technical advancements being made were again very evident - three good examples are Ella in the Long Jump, Jonah in the hurdles and Lauren after numerous adjustments, is running in a technically very efficient/effective manner.

Technique is everything at this early stage of an athlete's development.
