Athletes compete in Track & Field Cup

On Wednesday 20th May the Under 16 Athletics squad travelled to the Garston Athletics Track in Watford to compete in the first round of the English Schools Track and Field Cup, to compete against all the top Athletics schools in Hertfordshire. The format of this event requires every athlete to compete in one track and one field event – and individuals are awarded points on their performances.

There were some really outstanding performances:

Those Athletes scoring over 25 points in one event or 45 points in two events
combined achieved the HABS Elite Athlete status, they were:

Dom Evans – Discus with 36.57 – scoring 27 points
Michael Miller – Javelin with 50.10 – scoring 27 points
Matthew Copley – 300m in 38.9 – scoring 26 points
Ade Tokuta – 80m Hurdles in 11.7  – scoring 26 points

As a result, all the above athletes win the coveted HABS Elite Athlete Training Top!
