NATIONAL FINAL RESULT: 1. Blackheath & Bromley 792, 2 Rugby & Northants 712, 3 City of York 652, 4 Team Avon 627, 5 Trafford AC 580, 6 Harrow & Dacorum 560.
TEAM AVON came fourth place overall which was one of our best performances in the National Final.
Our athletes won 60 medals (26 golds, 9 silver, and 25 bronze) and achieved many new personal bests on the day.
Once again, Team Avon athletes showed we are the best team in the South-West of England and Wales for developing youth talent in athletics. Our athletes generated a terrific team spirit, worked tremendously hard for each other to gain their success and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
There were some outstanding performances across the three disciplines of running, throwing and jumping.
As team managers, Lesley and Sandra are extremely proud of the way the athletes conducted themselves. They are a credit to themselves and our sport. The future of athletics is safe in their hands though it’s a great pity that the Youth Development League will likely come to an end in 2026 when the age groups change.
