Sportcity, 10th June 2007

Last weekend, over 140 Athletes of top clubs from all over the country registered to compete in this event held at Sportcity, Manchester on Sunday 10th June 2007.  This event is designed to test young athletes over 4 disciplines, sprint race, middle distance, throw and a jump.

Horwich RMI Harriers turned out 13 brave athletes ranging from Under 9 to Under 15’s.  In very warm and quite humid conditions all our athletes competed magnificently, giving 100% and making their Coaches and Parents extremely proud.

On the day, congratulations to two young Harrier Girls who both came 3rd overall in their age groups and won Bronze Medals :-

Martha Gill (Under 11) & Eleanor Dacre (Under 9)

There were 9 new Club Records set on the day, well done to Cameron Challands, Samuel Lunt, Eleanor Dacre, Natassia Dacre & Martha Gill.  Natassia’s Vortex Throw (Under 11 Girls) was also a new DASH Quadrathlon Championship record at 23.52m.
