Seni shines on WADAC debut

The last of the domestic indoor National champs took place this weekend at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield and once more WADAC were on the podium.

It was the National age group (U15/U17) indoor Combined event champs with WADC fielding 3 competitors including Seni Purnell (coach Andy Fisher) in the U15G age group who has recently joined the club from Bournemouth AC. Also taking part were Seni’s training partners Gracie Osman (coach Andy Fisher) in the U17W age group and Lily Flute (coach Andy Fisher) also in the U15G age group.

Saturday saw the U17W battle it out in the indoor pentathlon and Gracie Osman finished in 4th place an agonising 12 points from the bronze medal. Gracie recorded pbs in the sprint hurdles and the shot putt, putting over 10m for the first time and was consistant across all her events finishing with a personal best points score of 3380 points to go 2nd on the club’s all time age group indoor lists behind training partner Arabella Wilson.

Yesterday it was the turn of the U15G age group and Lily Flute had a good day finishing in 7th place with a personal best ponts score of 2914 points which included an astonishing 800m run of 2 mins 23.84 secs smashing her own age group all time indoor club record. Lily also putted a SP pb. Seni was ultra consistent throughout the day with 5 solid performances including a pb of over 10m in the shot putt and equalling her pb of 1.53m in the high jump. Her points score of 3258 breaks the club’s all time indoor age group record and was good enough for a silver medal on the day and another WADAC vest on a National championship podium.
