Juniors – Amber Waddington

Amber Waddington attends Monday training sessions on a regular basis, works hard at every session and enjoys getting involved in all the training activities.

She’s always very polite and friendly with the coaches and other athletes. Her commitment and motivation to improve is reflected in her competitive performance – she came 2nd in her age group at the Schools cross country event at the Leisure Centre and achieved an amazing time of 25.20 for a 5k at MH parkrun in October. Mel is super proud of her!

Seniors – Penny Wooding and Joseph O’Connell

For October, we have two senior athletes deserving of recognition so well done both!

Congratulations to Penny Wooding for improving her 5k parkrun time from 26 minutes in August to 24.23 in October.

Joseph O’Connell continues to put in excellent performances including a PB and sub 16-minute 5k (15:59!) and 19th overall at the recent Mallory Park 5k.
