A wet Lewes on Sunday was our introduction to the Youth Development League. Our first league match was a success, finishing 4th overall. Despite the exam pressures and distance travelled, Waverley AC athletes, officials, team managers and parents had a fun day - the sun even shined at the end. Thanks for our amazing officials and team managers, next round is much closer to home at Guildford Spectrum on Sunday 26th May.

It was a cold and blustery day that saw the start of this year’s Waverley AC Wessex League campaign. It was a great turnout with 53 seniour athletes and 13 quad kids making the trip to Andover. And a very successful trip it was too with Waverley recording an overall match win in the senior event and our quad kids coming 4th overall. Many thanks to all our athletes, parents, team managers and officials for making this happen.

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!

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!
