Top of the League for the Track & Field team!

The young athletes ranging (Under 13 to 17 years of age) from Horwich RMI Harriers & AC have produced a magnificent result by finishing top of the league in the Division 1 North West of the National Young Athletics League 2010.

Horwich were crowned Champions after their fantastic efforts at the final athletics match held at Mount Stadium, South Sheffield on Sunday 18th July 2010. Horwich finished with 2222 points ahead of 8 other North West teams with their nearest rivals Lancaster & Morecambe, who finished second with 1929 points.

This now means Horwich RMI Harriers will be promoted to the highest level attainable in the National Young Athletes League in 2011 i.e. the Northern Premiership West, which will include top clubs like Sale Harriers Manchester, Liverpool Harriers, Blackpool and Preston etc.

45 athletes turned up for the meeting, together with great support from the parents and helpers. There were many new personal bests, plus a few new club records and Grade 1 achievements. Some of the highlights included Grade 1 standards by Sam Mercer in the under 15 boys, who ran a blistering 400m with a time of 53.30s and Sophie Williams in the under 13 girls with a Shot Putt of 8.34m.

New Club Records were also achieved in the under 13 girls 1200m by Phoebe Howe with 4m03.4s and under 13 boys 1500m by Nathan Townsend with 5m00.2s.

Amy Phillpotts ran well in the under 17 girls 300m in 44.90s and has notably competed in virtually all of the young athlete league matches since 2004, which is a tremendous achievement. There was a Club record in the under 15 Boys 4 x 400m relay with a time of 4m24.50s ran by Joseph Howe, Luke Murphy, Oliver Bretherton and Sam Mercer.

Horwich RMI Harriers & AC now look forward to 2011 for their first time competing in the Premiership of the Young Athletes League. Horwich are always on the look out for new volunteer coaches and with the prospect of  this challenge next year, please contact the web-site contact details if interested.
