ASHFORD Athletic Club had a storming time in the Sportshall Inter-Regional finals at Burgess Hill with the 18 youngsters in the medals and all recording personal bests.
Three helped the Under 13 Kent team win the competition and qualify for the UK finals in Birmingham on April 18 after securing two golds and a bronze.
Emem Umoh won the vertical jump with a 63cm leap and gold also went to Charlotte Dryland winning the speed bounce with 83. The bronze was taken by Amber Currie in the four lap race with a best time of 55.3 seconds.
Oliver Williams starred for the Under 13 Kent boys with two silver medals shining in the standing triple jump with 7.84m and runner-up in the four lap race with 23.3. Also in the U13 squad were Alex Lynch, Kieran Regan, Ben Isaac and Ben Phillips.
Nathan Fatola had a super day in the Under 15 boys with two silvers and a bronze in the all-round competition. His silvers came in the triple jump with 7.86m and two lap race in 22.8 seconds.
There was also a bronze for Tom Snare in the shot with a fine 12.14m putt. Also in action from Ashford were Tom Williams and Temi Banwo who helped Kent finished third team in the South East competition.
The Kent Under 15 girls had Caitlin Dock, Kayleigh Miller-Leslie, Abigail Purkis, Lauren Bamford and Sophie Hamlyn in action in a top class competition. Caitlin and Lauren just missed out on medals with equal fourths in the speed bounce competition and Caitlin was the best Kent performer in the all rounder competition on equal ninth. Good news for the club is most of the athletes have another year in their age groups to improve even more.
