Success for Springwell at Indoor Championships

 

Springwell Juniors travelled to the Odyssey Arena, Belfast on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th February for the NI & Ulster Juvenile Indoor Championships.

 

Holly Clarke had a very successful championship winning her heat in U17 Girls 200m in 27.74 to qualify for the final where she finished second (silver medal) also in 27.74. In the 60m she finished third in her heat in 8.44 to qualify for the final, where she finished in 4th place in 8.52.  As the three girls who finished in front of Holly were guest runners she was crowned NI & Ulster Indoor Champion.

 

Sally Brown ran in the Girls U16 200m finishing 3rd in her heat in 39.03 but unfortunately failed to make the final.
