National Athletics & UK School Games 2007 |
|
01-Oct-2007 - [School] 15 athletes from Treloar School and two from Treloar College attended the Disability Sports Events National Junior Athletics Championships in Blackpool in July, with even more qualifying but unable to attend. In total they gained 33 medals and recorded 12 Personal Bests (BP's), winning 10 Gold, 13 Silver and 10 Bronze medals in total. On the track, nearly every Treloar competitor recorded a PB; testament to the large group of track athletes that competed this year, and which enabled the team to spend relatively more time on track training compared with previous years. Josh Toomer was undoubtedly our best all-rounder, recording three PB's and gaining 6 medals in total. As a consequence he was selected to represent the South East at the UK School Games in Coventry during late August, where he also recorded a massive PB in the shot putt, and helped the SE team to it’s 2nd consecutive win in this combined able-bodied and disability sport event. Other Treloar athletes who competed and their achievements were:
It was very good to have so many athletes in the School Squad last year, so many that we had to extend squad training over two afternoons. Thank you to all of the parents and staff who gave freely of their time to support the athletes at both the Regional and National events. |
