Combined Events medal and great performances from Whitemoss athletes at English Combined Events Champs

 

Emma Canning won a silver medal in the English Combined Events Championships in Sheffield over the weekend in a very high standard competition. Emma was competing in the National Pentathlon Champs (hurdles, high jump, shot put, long jump, 800m run) and amassed an amazing 3680 points.

Emma has also had her second call up to the British U20 team for an international Combined Events match in Salamanca, Spain on 20th February. The match will see team GB face Spain, France and the Czech Republic.

Also in Sheffield was Emma's training partner Emily Craig who - at 16 - was one of the youngest athletes competing in the under 20 age group. In a very strong field of 25 athletes Emily made an impressive debut in this event by finishing 12th.

From everyone at the Whitemoss, well done to Emma and Emily and good luck to Emma in Spain next month!
