The sprinting squad of the Andover Athletic club had a fantastic weekend's racing and the AAA championships in Birmingham recently, with every athlete achieving a PB. Holly Croxford had the most rewarding weekend. In her 200m heat she won in a P.B of 26.44, taking her to the semi-final, where she again ran a new PB in second place, then had a very close race in the final with yet another PB. In doing so, she managed to beat girls a year and a half older than herself. Coach George Williamson was very impressed with her fourth place in the final. Rachel Harris got through to the 60m semis with a PB in her heat, and her seventh place wasn't quite quick enough to get her in to the final, but overall she was 12th out of a large group of competitors. Once again in the 200m she got into the semi finals with a PB in her heat. The fifth place she gained in the semi was a very respectable result, but she just missed out on reaching the final. Dominic Adams had a tough heat in the 60m, but his 3rd place sadly wasn't enough to take him on to the next round. Fern Parker had a very pleasing weekend by gaining PBs in both her 60m and 200m. To run faster than ever is all that can be asked of an athlete, and Fern positively fulfilled her coach's brief.
