As many Harrier junior athletes and their parents are now away on holday we like to do some slightly different activities and events on a Monday evening with the dedicated group that continue to train throughout the summer. This past Monday saw the Harrier coaches organise an age graded event taking in three running events in the evening; 1500m for year 6 and above/800m for Year 5s and below; then 100m and 400m for all. Using the age graded tables we 're then able to give each athlete a percentage figure which shows how they fare against their fellow competitors across the ages. Congratulatioons to Jasmine Caley for coming out top! Read on for full results.
