Gracie & Seni both on podium at National indoor age group CE champs

The last of the domestic indoor national champs took place this weekend at Sheffield as the age group (U15 & U17) combined events championships was held at its usual venue of the English Institute of Sport (EIS).

Quite incredible to report that two WADAC young athletes made the podium in the U17W age group on Saturday as training partners Gracie Osman & Seni Purnell (both coached by Andy Fisher) came 2nd and 3rd respectively

Both made great starts to the event with pb’s in the 60m hurdles and then maintained steady progress throughout the day finishing with a 1-2 in their 800m heat to secure their medals. They go 2nd & 3rd in the clubs all time indoor age group pentathlon lists and it made for quite a photo at the end of the day with 2 WADAC vests on a national podium. Read all about how the day unfolded in the report on the England Athletics website through the link below.

EA report on day 1 of indoor age group CE champs

Yesterday Mia Gligorowski (coach Andy Fisher) took part in the U15W age group and recorded pb’s in HJ, LJ, 800m & in her overall points score which was good enough for 17th place and Mia will be back in the same age group next year so it was a great learning experience.
