Harriers 09 Nov 19

Leila Thompson (U13) competed in her first winter season indoor event this weekend. Leila had a great day long jumping a personal best of 3.88m. However, her best was to come throwing a new Club record of 8.87m in the shot put. This fantastic throw won the competition and achieved the AAA (amateur athletic association) grade 1 standard for her age. Leila is now only one of four Alnwick athletes ever to have gained this. A fantastic achievement!
