A cool wind made conditions far from ideal for the junior multievents
competitions on 11th September, but that did not deter our 15 HWAAC athletes.
The determination was typified by the approach to the 800m, an event junior
athletes either love or loathe. It was great to see so many of our contingent
taking part, even those who simply hate that distance, in the knowledge that
it could boost their points scores.
There's not space here to mention all the highlights (see www.cheshireaa.com
for full details) but one was the superb battle between Oscar Stone and Stuart
Harwood to be the HWAAC top dog in the u-11B 800m. Oscar just edged ahead this
time!
After all the points scores in the scoreroom had been calculated, several of
our athletes walked away with trophies or medals. Our u-11 girls were the
winners in the 4 X 100m - well done to Alice Kirker, Phoebe Hutton. Clara
Edler and Rebecca Webb. In the u-11 boys' triathlon, Oscar Stone took 3rd
place with just 6 points separating him from the winner of the event. There
was a bronze medal too for Jamie Scobbie in the u-17 men's pentathlon, a
deserved reward for his contribution to the club in this and many previous
seasons.
Many thanks to Rosalie & Deirdre for masterminding the scoring operation,
assisted by parents Beccy, Julie, Kate, Toni and Clare. Thanks also to Alan
Sykes of Jones Homes for sponsoring the event and presenting the prizes.
