Thirteen boys from four age groups competed in the Abingdon Vale Biathlon Time Trial at Abingdon Sports Centre (swimming) and Tilsley Park (running). Out of the twelve Abingdon Prep competitors, six fished in the top 3. A tremendous achievement indeed.
Quinn (1st), Freddie (2nd) and Angus (3rd) completed a one-two-three (out of 11 competitors) in the Under 12 category. Nathaniel (10th) excelled in the pool finishing 3rd in the 50m freestyle (35.36) while Quinn (2:24.99) broke his 800m personal best by a considerable margin and Freddie (2:40.66) was not far behind.
In the Under 13 category Johnny finished 2nd and Christopher 3rd. Johnny put in a well-rounded and balanced performance while Christopher excelled in the pool and finished first in his age group over 100m freestyle (1:06.88).
James was the leading performer in the Under 11 category finishing in 5th place out of 17 competitors.
In his first experience of the biathlon Sam excelled himself and finished in 2nd place in the Under 10 category. His 800m run was particularly impressive where he recorded the fastest time of the day in his category.
Many thanks to all the parents for their help on the day. It was once again a fantastic experience for all our athletes!
