Not quite top - but certainly could have been if a few more young female athletes had been available during the bank holiday weekend!
For all those there it was an excellent team atmosphere as every athlete was loudly cheered across the line by their fellow team members and supporters - you would have thought the team were at home as the main stand at Wigan was taken over by the Harriers - brilliant! This was helped by the club providing a free coach - a long overdue measure!
By providing some other long overdue measures, like a club tent / specialised coaching / more volunteers to help with catering / social / fundraising activities etc -perhaps the club could build on such success and extend the great club atmosphere and enjoyment demonstrated last weekend - That's what track and field is all about - its not just an isolated individual event! So come on you seniors - follow the example of our youngsters and support your club on the track and in the field as the clubs efforts in the Northern League came no where near the participation rate of our young athletes the day after!
