England Age Group Indoor Championships (UK Champs) Feb 22nd / 23rd Sheffield

Three young Harries, family and coaches travelled to Sheffield for these Champs. Although called England Championships, this competition is, in all respects, the UK Championships as athletes from all over the UK come to compete. Lucy ran a great pb in the heat to get to the 300m Final where she came a very creditable 5th. Liam did a fantastic job to reach the 60m Final in his first year at U17 level. First year U20 Tyree managed a superb pb in his 60m Hurdles heat, even though clipping a hurdle. All three athletes were competing at a very high standard against the best athletes in the UK.

U15G : Lucy Wintle : 300m / Final. PB in Semi Final

U17M : Liam Topp : 60m / Final

U20M : Tyree Thompson : 60mH / PB in Semi Final


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, yet another successful Indoor Season for all the Pembrokeshire Harriers who competed. Although, relatively small numbers in each Championship compared to the bigger clubs, the Harriers always punch above their weight and win medals galore, achieve many pb's and gain International Vests.

Mention must be made of the families and friends and coaches who support the athletes throughout. A big team effort by all. Thank you.

Well done Pembrokeshire Harriers !!   Da iawn !!
