At the Edwards league at MPT last Thursday night we took two young athletes for their first ever track race. Jessica Meehan and Jane Rea had a go at the 150 mt sprint. Jane was first up and was a bag of nerves. This wasn't helped by a bogey starting pistol! Jane was also told by the starters assistant that she must use a crouch start which she had never done before. Despite all this she had a good time and recorded a 29.3" run and the coach is very proud of her :-))) Jessica was in the next heat and she stormed to an excellent 25.87" to finish 16th from 32 entries. Jessica has a bright future in athletics and it was encouraging to see her mum and sister supporting these first few steps. Well done girls
