Elise Thorner competed at the World Athletics Championships in Japan
It’s been another exciting fortnight for Wells City Harriers, headlined by Elise Thorner’s outstanding performance at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. Representing Great Britain in the 3000m steeplechase, Elise set a new personal best in the heats to qualify for her first World Championship final, where she finished an impressive 11th in the world — a fitting end to a breakthrough season. Back home, club activities have been in full swing with record attendance at junior training, strong team performances at the South of England Road Relays, a fun day out at the Uphill to Wells Relay, a superb win for young Heath in the Dave Jones Weston Prom Run, and excellent results from our juniors at the Barnstaple 10K.
