All the girls had PB's across all the events that totalled 17 by the end of the day.
The total medal places for the day was 9 Golds, 1 silver and 3 bronze. To finish a great day Harriet, Jemima, Abbie & Lily had a sensational run in the 4 x 100m relay winning by half a second!!

There was another great set of enthusiastic juniors taking part at the latest Harrier's Monday night competition evening on April 20th. Almost 50 took part and gave every event their best effort. As usual the dedicated Monday night Harrier coaches organised the event with the help of some encouraging parents. The next competition evening is on Monday May 18th and senior Harriers are as usual invited to put something back into the Club by assisting that evening. The monthly competition nights have been organised over the past 8 years or so for Harriers and their friends. New juniors looking to join the Club are welcome to come along on a Monday. All the results are here, and juniors aged 9 and upwards should now be thinking about entering the Somerset County Track & Field Championships on May 23rd and 24th at Yeovil Arena.
