U15 Boys Season 2015 Review
When I was asked to write
a review of the track season
I reflected on how best to
summarise the achievements
of the year. Rather than
bring together a summary of
the different match reports
I thought a summary of
highlights would allow me to
better reflect the outstanding
achievements of the boys and
hence the club. Apologies up
front if there is anyone I don’t country leaving me with a
mention but I think most of
you know how proud I was of
all of the athletes throughout
the season.

benchmark for the rest of
the team totally dominating
both the KYAL and YDL
matches. The boys supported Henry-James in action –

the adjectives I could use to
describe the efforts everyone
put in to their races.
