The sportshall county champs were held on Sat 25 April at Wenlock. We had about 26 athletes competing, and between them they won 22 medals. Congratulations to all of them and a special mention to Toby, Ruari, Charlie, Luke, Cerys and Shona – winners in their events.
This year’s championships will take place on Saturday 13 May (with a mop up session for distance races on Thurs 18 May) There is a wide range of events for age groups U11 upwards (including seniors!), with medals available. You must enter as an individual – entry form below.
