Well done to all those who competed in the Sussex Athletics Championships....

Naomi Owolabi won the girls shot equalling the championship best with a massive throw of 11.42. She also won the 100m in a season's best of 12:89 and was a quarter of the bronze medal relay team of Naomi, Jemima O'Connor, Melissa Yassar and Phoebe Thoms who took bronze in a time of 53.12. This fantastic time puts them in the top 40 in the country.

Setting a new Championships record Almi battled a sprint finish to win, outrunning U20 and Senior athletes who also set pbs.

Gold medals were also by Maia Hardman in the U15 girls 800 and 1500 metre races.
