CITY of Salisbury’s up and coming quad kids’ multi event athletes set themselves the target of winning the Wessex Young Athletes League title at Swindon and, after a string of good performances on the day, they achieved exactly that.

They set the tone for the other age groups at the fixture too, the club making sure of their league placings by taking second place at the weekend match to a strong Camberley squad.

Among the day’s many highlights, Luke Reeve broke the club’s 25-year-old under-13s’ javelin record with a throw of 32.69m and Bea Wood improved her own Wessex League record in the under 15s’ 1500m with a great time of 4m 33.9s.

Molly Hole continued her fine season in the high jump with a clearance of 1.63m, with Martha Royle and Gabrielle Kirkham also showing great form in their events.

But the real stars of the day were the amazing boys quad kids team (pictured) brilliantly managed by Andy Holme, with Will Barnard topping the team’s standings by also taking the individual title in the six team contest.

The local group have shown well throughout the season, helped by a superb team spirit which augurs well for Salisbury’s track and field future.

Andy Holme was also well to the fore at Salisbury parkrun in Churchill Gardens, taking fifth place in a field of over 470 with a time of 18min 25sec.

Winner was the club’s Christopher Melville in 17.29, just ahead of Lee Syrett’s personal best 17.46.
