It was a record-breaking weekend of performances at our Junior Championships in Swansea!
Championship best performances were smashed, new PB's were set & athletes competed in one last competition ahead of the Paralympic Games next month.

Also the BBC end montage.
Jacob Barnes, the u13 Welsh Champion in Longjump, 100m and...
The new national record holder in the
200m with a time of 24.71!
What a season he's had. Huge thanks to his coaches and training group at Team H. It takes a village...

@BrendanThompsn Another fantastic thread Brendan. Any advice on dealing with lactic for a sub 23 200 sprinting training 400? one month in but struggling with debilitating lactic.
@warrencaldwell@BrendanThompsn I have an athlete with a very similar story, chased the injury from side to side after the initial hip injury, now dealing with ongoing hamstring and balance issues.
Somerset Council are contemplating shutting down their athletics venue, which would only save them £165k over two years compared to the overall £100m they need.
Even more bizarre when what was then Somerset District Council called it a "key facility" just five years ago.
