I know from the individual results that several other athletes were
again close to the top 10. Hopefully all will take pride in their performances.
Remember the athletes competing were from all the clubs in Surrey.
Summary
Overall the teams finished as follows:-
U15 boys -4th
U15 girls -1st
U13 boys -4th U13 B boys -9th
U13 girls -5th U13 B girls -13th U13 C girls-17th
Well done to all our athletes. In addition those mentioned above,
there were very good individual performances from the following :-
Jenny Hewett, Amy Mitchell, Thomas Marsh and Richard Humphries in the Under 15s.
Richard Morris, Jack Scutt, Liam Johnson, Brandon John, Ben Foreman, Creston Harrison in the under 13 boys.
Catherine Campbell, Ruth Myburgh, Maria Kavanagh, Maya Bruney, Shanice Harrison,
Janet Foskett, Chanonne Graham, Sophie Foreman, Ellie Marsh, Hayley Waterer and Tyanna Bibb in the under 13 girls.
I thought the team spirit was good, and it was nice to see athletes cheering
on their team-mates when they could. The behaviour and sportsmanship was excellent also, so well done for that. It’s always nice to see competitors shaking hands with
each other after a race. That’s something that we will be encouraging this summer.
As a result of all these performances, 6 SLH athletes have been chosen to
represent Surrey on 18th Feb. This is a match against the other SE counties,
Kent, Sussex, Middlesex and Essex.
The athletes selected were as follows :-
U15 girls - Sophie Small, Hannah Field, Harriet Field
U13 boys - Adam Atkins
U13 girls - Jahisha Thomas, Naomi Poyser
There were several other athletes who were being considered by the selectors,
and who will definitely have an even better chance next year.
We had some young teams competing this year and I’m sure we can be even
more successful next winter.
18th February Regional Final results :-
As I said earlier, we had 6 SLH athletes involved, and all have now progressed
with their Surrey teams into the UK Sportshall Finals.
U13 Boys - 1st
Adam Atkins will join the Surrey team in the UK Final.
U13 Girls - 1st
Jahisha Thomas got a Gold medal in the relay, and a Silver medal in the
Long Jump and will join the Surrey team in the UK final.
Naomi Poyser is also reserve for the team.
U15 Girls - 1st
Sophie Small got Gold in the relay, 3 Silvers in the Speed Bounce, 2 lap race,
and for finishing 2nd in the overall competition. She also got a Bronze in the
Vertical Jump.

Harriet Field finished 2nd in the Paarlauf.
All 3 will join the Surrey team in the UK Final.
