Sunday 24 July 2011

Cardiff athletes picked up medals at the Welsh Under 13 and Under 15 Championships held at Cardiff International Sports Stadium yesterday, Saturday 23 July 2011.

Pride of place goes to Harry Hillman (pictured) who won the Under 13 75m Hurdles in a Welsh record time of 11.90 seconds. He also took the gold medal in the 100m and the silver in the High Jump.

Other gold medallists were George Griffiths (Under 15 100m & Long Jump) and Thomas Trottman (Under 15 Long Jump).

The full list of Cardiff medallists is:

Under 13 Boys: Harry Hillman ( 100m & 75mH - 1st and High Jump - 2nd).

Under 13 Girls: Lauren Evans (70mH - 2nd); Emily Griffiths (Discus - 3rd).

Under 15 Boys: George Griffiths (100m - 1st & Long Jump - 1st); Tom Trottman (High Jump - 1st).

Under 15 Girls: Claire Taylor (75mH - 2nd); Holly Field (Pole Vault - 2nd).

Well done to all the medallists and to the others who took part.

These age group championships are are very useful indicator of the athletes' progress but it was noticeable that many Cardiff athletes did not enter these championships. It is important that they are encouraged to do so and we hope that many more will enter next year.
