Gold for Maia

Whilst many Phoenix athletes were wading in the mud at Bexhill some young Phoenix athletes chose to keep their feet dry and compete in the South of England U15/17 Indoor Athletics Championships.

There was a gold medal and first SEAA title for Maia Hardman in the U15 girls 800m. Maia went to the front after 200m and pulled away from the field winning comfortably in 2:23.61.

Charlie Warren and Louisa Saunders competed in their first year in the U17 age group. In the U17 men's 800m Charlie Warren achieved a new pb of 2:12.86. Louisa Saunders had a busy two days reaching the semi finals of both the U17 women's 400m (61.16) and 200m (27.29).

Well done to all & a thank you to Bruce Warren for this report!
