Three Heathsiders took part in the Senior English Championships at the weekend.  Helena Stone competed in the ambulant 100m with Trey Corlis also running in the 110mH.

Leon Seale who is back from college competed in both U23 100m and 200m reached thd semi final of the 100m and set 2 new PBs on the way to the final where he finished in 5th place.

Helena reports “I had a great time at my first national championships in Birmingham on Sunday, racing in the Women's Para-Ambulant 100m Final. It's not often that I get to compete in a para-field, and it's always fun to race with para-athletes across different classifications. With it also being my first time racing in a stadium, I was very pleased to be able to deliver a solid performance under pressure, running close to my PB.”

Great performances from all and to see the Heathside vest at National events.
