There were excellent performances by junior Harriers and members of our partner Club, Yeovil Olympiads, at the English Schools National Championships at Gateshead Stadium at the weekend (July 10th & 11th). Top billing goes to u15 Harrier Vicky McCabe who managed to pull out a great leap of 5.44m in the Long Jump to gain Bronze. We also had Harriers out in action at the British Athletics League fixture and almost 20 ran at last week's Yeovilton 5km road race.(photos below by Al Thorner)
