Young Athletes Club Open Meeting
A key highlight of the summer was our 7th annual Open Meeting at Spectrum track on Sat 26th May. It was an afternoon of sun and excitement at the track as 200 young athletes age 5 to 12 years competed to win medals in sprinting, long jump, middle distance and throwing.
Most came from Young Athletes Club but many came from clubs across Surrey including Camberley, Epsom, Waverley, Woking and Dorking and Holland Sports.
For many this was their first ever competition. Virginia and Tony Mitchell and the YAC coaches plus Gillian on the score system were delighted to be praised by parents for the good organisation and the success of the meeting.
YAC Gold medal winners: Emmeline Orbell U11 girls, Cade Tierney U11 boys, Alyssa Gillies U9 girls, Jack Amos U9 boys, Imani Tyler U7 girls, Daniel Amos U7 biys.
YAC Silver medal winners: Elise Christian U11 girls, Imani Tyler U7 girls.
YAC Bronze medal winners: Esme Finch U13 girls, Natasha Udebhulu U11 girls, Isla Oxley U7 girls, Oscar Habens U7 boys.
4th place medals: Robin Simons U11 girls and Kameron Sam U11 boys, Amelia Wilson U7 girls.
This competition always gets our season off to a flying start and our athletes have since made the most of their training at YAC to achieve fantastic performances at Sports Days, District Sports, and at IAPS championships.
