Track & Field News
Howard Bell returned to action in Warsaw, Poland to complete his first full Decathlon in two years and recorded a personal best over the weekend. A number of Woodford athletes were in action in very windy conditions at a Graded meeting at Dagenham, whilst others were also in action elsewhere..
WGEL Wasps Minithon
On Saturday 22nd August, WGEL Young Athletes hosted a track and field Minithon event. The event catered for WGEL athletes from school years 3-8. Over 60 athletes entered the event, which was held in warm breezy conditions at Ashton.
Athletes could select up to three events from the scheduled line-up. Points collected for the individual events were totalled up at the end of the event for Gold, Silver and Bronze standards, with a corresponding medal given to every athlete attending.
The events included the 75m, 150m, 600m, long jump and Javelin (howlers). The event was organised using the now familiar “Pods” approach and guidance from England Athletics and the UK Govt. on current COVID restrictions. Using zones, the WGEL organising team safely moved the athletes within their particular seeded race/event pods (of six) from registration into holding, warm up and pre-race zones.
