North Wales Indoor Track and Field Report

With nearly 100 athletes entered for the 2022 North Wales Indoor T&F Championships, it was great to see a strong representation from all the clubs and a nice mix of u11’s all the way through to Seniors / Vets involved. Special thanks to all the volunteers who made the event possible especially the officials who came from all across Wales as well as across the border from England to make the event a success.

Star of the day was Cai Lewis Jones from Menai T&F who was crowned North Wales Champion with an impressive time of 6.97s in the 60m which was graded at 91.68% in terms of the World best % category. It was great to see North Wales stars and International athletes such as Sabrina Fortune and Tom Wally in attendance inspiring athletes of all ages and abilities to some fine performances and PBs.

It was great to see officials, coaches, athletes, and parents from all across North Wales getting stuck in and contributing to a lively, fun and great day of athletics. It was great to see so many vets in action with some inspirational performances showcasing athletics as a sport for everyone regardless of age or abilities.
