ESAA Combined Events Regional Finals 2016

Congratulations to Matt (Greater Manchester Schools) and Sam (Derbyshire Schools) for being selected and competing in this year's Octathlons.The eight events they competed in were: hurdles, shot, javelin, discus, long jump, high jump, 400m & 1500m. Matt finished a very respectable 8th in his first experience of doing 8 events in two days, as a year 10 and Sam with a training age of only one year achieved PBs in 7 out of 8 events!

These are excellent achievements, which will be improved upon further, if the boys decide to continue down this development pathway and compete next year as year 11s.

The group is very proud of two young athletes who have trained and competed hard for these successes.
