15 very committed Oxfordshire athletes striving to get through the regional round, of this year's, ESAA combined events (Midland Div) to secure a place in the national finals in September at Exeter.
Some athletes were quite experienced whilst 6 athletes were making their debuts including the entire u15 boys team.
Congratulations to the three Oxfordshire Field Officials upgraded since the start of the 2016 season:
The ESAA Regional Combined Events competition takes place at Derby on the weekend of 25-26 June. Expectations are high for the 3 complete teams (U15 girls and boys and the U17 women). These 12 athletes along with 2 U17 men 1 U19 man and U19 woman all have realistic expectations of making the national combined events finals in Exeter in September.
The U15 girls are all Radley athletes, Zoe Lovibond, Holly Griffiths-Brown, Kylah Rowlands and Matilda Donaghy. All the girls are in great shape and many PBs are expected in the competition.
Results for the Oxfordshire Schools' district championships held on 12 June 2016 at Horspath, Oxford are attached.
I am aware that some athletes placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the U13, U15, U17 or U20 age groups, and Senior 1st place athletes may not have collected their medals after the championships. If they would like to e-mail their requests to john.sear@gtc.ox.ac.uk, we will arrange for their clubs to be given the medals for onward distribution.
