I am not an athlete but a parent to two, Oliver & Ellie! In winter I am usually found at the side of a track, freezing cold and getting wet! In the summer also found at the side of a track, supporting my children and the team, and helping out in the field. I have been part of athletics for the last 9/10 years, and have been a team manager for U11’s, U13’s U15’s & U17/20’s, and also the overall team manager, organising all the leagues and team managers as well as making sure we have sufficient officials at each match.
