Toby Parkes collected two personal best performances to finish 3rd in the U17 Men's 100m Hurdles 14.63s and 4th in the Long Jump with 6.21m, whilst Joe Morris also ran a personal best time of 4.18.69m to finish 7th in the U17 Men's 1500m.--------------------------------------------

Wenlock Olympic mascots presentation
Oswestry athletes were recently invited to Much Wenlock to attend the unveiling of the 2012 Olympic Games mascots. As patron of the Wenlock Olympians society, Jonathan Edwards, the world record holder and Olympic gold medallist for triple jump, spent time talking to Natalie Bathers, Cameron Dixon and Georgia Dixon about their events and their aspirations for the future. He shared stories of his own athletics career and presented all the young people with badges and limited editions of the story of the mascots, written by Michael Morpurgo.--------------------------------------------
Shropshire
Cross Country Championships
The
2009 County Cross Country Championships were held at Lilleshall and,
after heavy rain, the conditions of the course were boggy and heavy
underfoot. Oswestry Olympians teams were small due to illness and
injury but four athletes won individual medals and several were
selected to represent Shropshire at the UK Inter-counties
Championships to be held in Birmingham in March. Top performance of
the day was by Charlie Mooney who had just become eligible to compete
in the U13 age group after celebrating his 11th birthday recently. He
stepped up to the start line knowing that some of the boys were up to
two years older and that the course was double the distance he was
used to. Far from being overawed, Charlie stuck with the leading
group and finished a magnificent 8th out of a field of 37 runners.
His team mates James Morris and Owen Line came 3rd and 32nd
respectively to earn themselves a bronze team medal.
There was also a medal for Daisy Tickner who continued her fantastic
cross country form in the league to place 2nd in the U15 Girls race,
and a silver medal for Ella Walker in the U17 Women's age group.
