More medals

Tuesday 23 August 2011

Ten Cardiff athletes travelled to Bedford to take part in the England Athletics under 17 and under 15 championships last weekend, 20-21 August, and returned with three medals between them.

Matthew Field took the bronze medals in both the under 17 shot put and discus whilst Elliot Slade (pictured) also took bronze in the 800m.

Tom Trottman narrowly missed a medal in the under 15 high jump, taking fourth place with a personal best clearance of 1.76m.

Other Cardiff athletes who competed in Bedford were:

Lara Durrani (5th in her heat of the U17 300mH); Ryan Cooper (6th in his heat of the U17 400mH); Anax Da Silva (5th in his heat of the U17 100m); Scott Edwards (4th in his heat of the U17 800m); Sam Gordon (4th in his heat of the U17 200m); Kate Seary (11th in the U15 1500m final); Jonathan Bailey (10th in the U17 High Jump final).

Well done to all ten who made the journey to Bedford to test themselves against the best in Britain as this is the surest way to improvement.
