The first meeting of the year for the sprint squad took place on Saturday 16th January at the Indoor Performance Centre, Alexander Stadium. With 60 metres the only sprint available, the pressure was on and the 3 athletes who took part performed well. Ethan Brough was pitched against the best sprinters in the Midlands and equaled his PB of 7.6 seconds. For both Rachel Iliffe and Cameron Harris, it was their first time running this distance and both moved up an age group to u 20 and u 17 respectively. Rachel ran a respectable 8.63 seconds, with only a small improvement to 8.5 seconds needed for a ranking on the Power of Ten. Similarly, Cameron achieved 7.89 seconds with 7.7 seconds needed for a ranking. Unfortunately, Mollie Darrock had to pull out at the last minute due to injury.
