Tonight (12 March) is the last normal competition for the season and marks a special moment for our U16 Group of Athletes as they finish their little athletics journey with us.
Its traditional that the U16 group have some fun and dress up for the last competition, so we invite all our current U16 athletes to get inspired and come dressed up and have some fun.
There will be a prize for the best dressed up U16 athlete!
For those U16 athletes that cant make it tonight, there will be further recognition of our U16 athletes on Championship Day.
