February Athletes of the Month

Junior: Shay Wilde

Moved into the older group for Monday Junior training and has showed potential in his running. It can be quite daunting for our younger athletes – Shay had only just turned 10 in February but he has settled in really well, is very focused on working hard and already we can see progress and improvement. In addition, Shay qualified in the Primary Schools XC event in his age group to represent Harborough at the Country Championships on 4th March. This was his first competitive event at county level and was the first Harborough athlete to finish in his age group which was a brilliant performance. He also ran a PB of 08:30 at junior parkrun on 5thMarch.  A great weekend of running for Shay.

 

Senior: Sam Batten

 

Consistent and improving performances as a result of commitment to training. Strong showing in the Burghley 7 with highly creditable 14thposition in his age category (men 25-29).
