Sportshall, Cambridge, 9 Dec 2023

Well done to the 12 athletes who competed in the second Cambridgeshire Sportshall event in Cambridge yesterday.

There was an abundance of enthusiasm and energy,  and great performances too!!  Hunts AC secured first place in many events throughout the day and it was great to see athletes competing for the first time or trying new events.   Official results to follow soon.

Huge thanks to our officials Moji Opaleye and Charlotte Bruce, and coach Yinka for all their hard work – without the dedication of officials, it would not be possible to offer these events to our younger athletes.  Special mention also to Alexander Scott as despite being unable to compete owing to injury, came and volunteered for the day supporting the officials.

While we await news of County Selection, athletes please share your experiences with your coach and peers, and let’s make next year’s Sportshall Team even bigger!
