U15 Boys Relay Race on the Big Stage

Connect Relay - Sainsbury's Anniversary Games

Olympic Park, Stratford - Friday 24th July

L-R: Orin, Anthony, Kyle & Teddy.

Well done to our U15 boys 4x100m relay team who were picked to take part in the Connect Relay event at the start of the Sainsbury's Anniversary Games at the weekend.  They were picked on the strength of the relay they had won at Parliament Hill fields.

Only 2 of the original team were available Kyle and Orin, as Mathew was away and Harry was injured so Antony and Teddy stepped in to replace them (with Johnny coming along as reserve). Coaches Andrea Lynch and Bob Bridges only had 2 sessions to get them working together and all of the hard work certainly paid off.  It was a fantastic experience for all of the boys running at the Olympic stadium and they actually managed to better their time coming in at 47.92 with coaches Bob and Andrea on hand to aid and support.

Well done boys we hope to be able to share many more great opportunties like this in the future.
