SIAB Roundup!

Look just what it means! 🤩
Throwback to the Summer Part 4 features this year’s SIAB (The Schools International Athletics Board). Winners! Representing #LWAC but on this occasion, their country too, Mollie Grant & Ellarose Whitworth!
Mollie ran in the 800m and stormed to victory in 2:09, whilst Ellarose set a 9:38 winning time in the 3000m. Both girls won their respective races, and both by just a single second from the runner-up. The sheer strength of body and mind is phenomenal and these two athletes fully deserve the seasons they’re having 🥇🥇

A huge shout must go to Isla Porter who unfortunately didn’t qualify after a 4th place finish.
