The West Yorkshire Sports Hall Athletics Trials were held at the Richard Dunn Sports Centre on 9th February . The Olympic legacy is still showing with over 120 Boys and Girls from all over West Yorkshire competing to gain selection for the West Yorkshire teams to go to the Yorkshire Regional finals in Hull on Sunday 24th February.
In the Under 13 Boys Tariq Said from ( Huddersfield Trust School) won the 2 Lap A final, 1st in the Shot Put, and 2nd in the Standing Triple Jump. Jayden Martin ( Salendine Nook High School) was second in the 2 Lap A final but won the High Jump and Standing Long Jump and was second in the Speed Bounce.
In the Under 13 Girls competition Anna Dickie (Crossley Heath GS) showed she was in contention winning the Vertical Jump, Standing Long Jump and the 2 Lap A final and the 1 Lap Time Trial . Youngster Lois Logan who recently starred in the Under 11 Team won the Standing Triple Jump.
The teams to represent West Yorkshire in the Regional final in Hull on 24th February have been selected on an all round basis and letters are on their way. In the regional competition each athlete will have to compete in up to 3 categories of events so this means that some athletes who might have won individual events at the trials have not shown the all round ability to fill the team places, so may be disappointed.
The athletes taking part were from all areas of West Yorkshire , Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Halifax, Wakefield. The numbers of Athletes taking part were up on last year and the teams selected look strong and capable of progressing to the UK Finals.
