Sheffield Silver

Congratulations to Conor Kelly who, in his first year as an Under 17, took the silver medal in the 200m at the England Athletics Age Group (U15/U17/U20) Indoor Championships in Sheffield on 12/13 February, in a PB of 22.40.

Conor was one of a handful of the Club’s young athletes competing in Sheffield. U15 Elliott Turbin was fifth in the final of the 300m (only the second time he had competed over this distance) and also fifth in the high jump. U17 Khalid Ali achieved a personal best in both the 60m (7.34) and 200m (23.09). Freddie Arkell, in his first year as an U20, was second in the semi final of the 200m and sixth in the semi final of the 60m, and U15 Javon Blake was eighth in his 60m semi final.

Thanks to HW's Phill Martin, who was time-keeping at the Championships and managed to photograph the medal ceremony featuring Conor (above).
