Harry makes trip to Birmingham

U20 Multi-eventers Harry Crosby and Oliver Thatcher made the trip up to Birmingham on Wednesday evening to take part in the Birmingham University track & field series. This licence level 2 event series is popular with U20 athletes and was streamed live on youtube throughout the evening.

Both Harry & Ollie entered the 3 event competition comprising hurdles, long jump & javelin but unfortunately Ollie tweaked a muscle in warm up and took the wise decision not to compete. Harry took his place on the start line and ran a nice time of 15.38 in his first race over the 110m distance and 99cm barriers.

Harry followed this with a 6.75m effort in the long jump, the best of all the multi-eventers taking part and rounded off his evening with his first competitive throw with the 800g spear throwing 34m and bits.
