Following their success at the Regional Sportshall finals, 5 Waverley athletes (Ryan S, Owen F, Will F, Mya S and Mollie M) headed to Stoke-on-Trent on the weekend to compete in the National Sportshall finals. It was another successful event with the U15B and U15G Surrey teams winning Gold and the U13G Surrey team winning silver. As well as being a team competition, for the U15s there is an individual competition and the Waverley athletes all did very well with all 4 athletes coming in the top 6.

A surprisingly sunny day over the Easter weekend saw 11 Waverley AC athletes dust off their winter cobwebs and compete at the Bracknell Young Athletes open. The Bracknell Open is unusual in that it awards medals to the top performances in each event and, as well as achieving some great PBs, our athletes came away with 9 medals! A promising start to the new season! Go Team Waverley AC!

Congratulations to the Waverley AC athletes that competed at the Surrey Indoor T&F Championships at Carshalton on the weekend of the 9th / 10th March.

Ollie J finished his very successful 2023-2024 cross country season representing Surrey Schools Athletics in the intermediate boys team at the English Schools National Cross Country Championships in Pontefract on Saturday 16th March. A large field of 330 runners took part racing over a very muddy course with some long hills, Ollie took 60th place and helping the Surrey intermediate boys team to second place 🥈 He will be taking a brief rest this week before preparing for the 2024 track season !

What Is a Lumbar Spine Bone Stress Injury ? As Spring arrives and the weather (hopefully) begins to improve there is a move from indoor training to outdoor training and competition and with it a change in the type and amount of activity and exercise that children and adolescents participate in. Whilst this is not an issue in itself, how quickly they increase the amount of activity can cause problems.

2 Waverley AC athletes travelled to Wollaton Park in Nottingham, selected to represent Surrey in their respective age groups at the CAU National Intercounties Cross Country Championships on Saturday following their performances at the Surrey Cross Country County Championships Denbies in January. The sun came out briefly and there was only a little bit of mud on the challenging hilly course - a relief for both runners and supporters in what has been an extremely wet and often frustrating cross country season!

Team “waverley throws” were out this weekend at Basingstoke for their first outdoor competition of the season. Well don Oli with a new Javelin club record and great throwing from Ryan and Julia in shot and javelin. Great support from our throws coaches too.

Well done to Waverley AC athlete Steve at the Brighton Half Marathon, a windy seafront finish!!

The domination of Surrey Sportshall teams continued into the afternoon in the U13 and U15 competition, with the U13 girls, the U15 girls and U15 boys all winning and the U13 boys runners up in their competition. Seven Waverley AC athletes took part - Mya S, Owen F, Will F, Ryan S, Tom M, Nat H and Ivan W. The winning teams have all earned a place at the national finals in Stoke in April.

An excellent Surrey u11 performance today at the regional sportshall finals in Burgess Hill, overall u11 gold winners. Great to have 6 Waverley AC athletes represent Surrey and winning 6 gold medals. Well done Erin, Emma, Laila, Annabel, Freddie and Jordan. Great to see you all having a brilliant athletics experience.

Well done to our primary school Waverley AC athletes running at Reigate on Saturday. Great finishes on a tough and muddy course Lots of smiling faces afterwards.
