@skgreennz@OakhamSch@SchoolAthletics@OakhamSport Thank you so much! It was 5th time lucky for him ๐ Interestingly he decided to focus on ๐after winning the U18 Schools Cup at Twickenham llast year ๐ Good move I think ๐
A fitting finale for Fabian Powell representing both @OakhamSch and Leics/Rutland Schools ๐ก๐ข yesterday, at the 93rd English Schools Competition. He won the Senior Boys 200m in 20.80s, breaking the 1977 Championship Best Performance. @SchoolAthletics@OakhamSport ๐ดโซ๏ธ
Perhaps the performance of the weekend comes in the senior boys 200m where Finlay powell won in a CBP of 20.80 (unfortunately windy 2.2) otherwise a world u20 standard - huge breakthrough for this lad in the last month..
49.24 - 12th in Europe, 22nd on the UK all time lists, but ultimately not deemed good enough. This is a sad reflection on the current state of our sport
Below are some thoughts on the recent selections for the upcoming Europeanโs

Huge congrats to F7 student Fabian who won U20 100m & 200m gold medals at the Northants County Champs this weekend, breaking meeting records and Oakham School records in both events. Fabianโs time of 10.6sec for the 100m broke a school record which was set by C.E. Seale in 1970
Wonderful enthusiasm and support from Oakhamโs Director of Athletics, Tref Vandoros, cheering on his athletes selected to represent the Leics & Rutland team, competing at the 92nd English Schools Championships. @SchoolAthletics
