Success at Leeds for East Midland’s youngsters!

Published:

By now we're all up to date with the fantastic results from the 2016 ITU World Triathlon Leeds, with Vicky Holland securing a third place and the Brownlees tearing it up with silver and gold. However, there were plenty more people racing that day, including some fantastic racing from our very own East Midlands Juniors. Below, our East Midlands Youth Development Coach, Hilary Johnson highlights some of the great achievements from last weekend:

Whilst much of the focus was on the elite at Leeds a number of our East Midlands athletes also travelled north to race. In the junior men’s race Barclay Izzard came 3rd and in the girls Youth race Libby Coleman was 1st. Both Barclay and Libby athletes are members of the East Midlands Academy.

In the younger age groups TS2 /TS3 the East Midlands had success.

In the TS2 girl’s race Freya Batkin was 3rdand Emily Crookes 12th

In the boys TS2 age group race we had Samuel Hughes 3rd/Samuel Gordon-Kerr 9th/ Solomon Okrafo-Smart 12th and Thomas Aubrey 15th

In the TS3 age group race for the girls we had Elsbeth Grant coming 1st/ Lizzy Edge 2nd/ Hannah Brayer 5th and Maise Aubrey 6th.

In the boys TS3 age group race Kieran Smith came 5th/ Xavi Salcedo 6th/ Trystan Barnet 7th and Sam March 14th.

Tom Dixon and Amelia Chrispin took part in the IAPS National Schools Triathlon Championships in Kent.  Tom achieved success coming 2nd and Amelia 4th both in year 6 age group.

Next weekend there are races at Hetton Park, another venue where some of our athletes will be travelling to compete, and, then at the end of June there will be strong competition at the Eton Dorney races.

All the above races are draft legal races and a great opportunity for our athletes to compete at a high level against other triathletes from across the country.
