Juniors kick off their track season

SLAN Open Meeting

Tooting Bec, Sunday 3rd April 2016

The first SLAN meet of the year saw a solid turnout for Belgrave with 14 athletes strutting their stuff on the track and field at Tooting Bec.

There were some promising results across the board to kick start the summer outdoor season for our youth squad, highlighted by a win for Kyle Reynolds-Warmington in the U15 boys 100m and 200m and a PB for AJ Bennetts in the U20 mens 100m. A strong turnout from the boys team saw many great runs from Johnny Adams, Kweku Siaw, Myles Xavier, Nicholas Hamilton, Anthony Steer, Cliff Mitchell, Robert Wang and Teddy Skinner.

Not to be outdone by the boys the U17 girls also put on a great show with a second place for Evelyne Adu-Poku in her 100m race, accompanied by strong run by Mercedes Halliday in her 100m and Darcy Burton taking 2nd in the long jump event. Jasmine Kapele held the fort for the u15 girls as the sole representative running in both the 100m and 200m.

A promising start for our athletes as they gain more competition experience to aid in their athletic endeavours.
