Cornwell wins again
Our English Schools Senior Boys 1500m champion, Alex Cornwell, is proving to be a winner in more ways than one. Alex recently entered a UKA competition to win a month's supply of Lucozade Sport for the club, and he has been announced to be the winner. The prize is of no little value, and will be put on sale at the clubhouse bar. Alex generously rejected the idea of a winner's reward.
A sports scientist representing Lucozade will be coming to our Ashton Playing Fields track on 9th February to advise athletes and coaches on how Lucozade Sport can be of benefit to training and performance. A table will be set up in the clubhouse enabling athletes & coaches to sample the products.
