HERCULES and WIMBLEDON YOUNG ATHLETES MEETING

Wimbledon Park Stadium, Sunday 12th April

On Sunday 12th April a number of Belgrave's young athletes took part in the Hercules and Wimbledon YA open meeting which for many young athletes marks the start of their season, so it was great to some good performances across the board for Belgrave.

On the track, AJ Bennetts won his heat of the under 17 200m in a speedy 24.64" putting his track campaign for the summer firmly on course along with Adelaide Clair who won the under 15 1500m in an impressive 5'04".

The girls showed their depth in the field events with Milla McKenzie coming second in the under 17 high jump with a lofty jump of 1.50m. Nicole Borgers showed her multi-event talent coming second in the under 15 shot put throwing 9.80m before winning the long jump in her first ever long jump competition with a jump of 5.01m with fellow Belgravian Ayse Hanson not far behind, taking third place with a jump of 4.67m.

A truly excellent start to what will surely be a great season for all our young athletes. There are plenty of upcoming meets for our juniors to show their stuff so keep an eye out on the fixtures list and be sure to enter - you've got to be in it to win it!
