It was a successful weekend for our junior athletes in Solihull, as an Upper Age Group team travelled to compete in the second Midland Youth Development League North & East C Fixture of the summer.

 Strong performances across the board, with a number of athletes competing in multiple events for the team, saw Shrewsbury take a dominant victory with 322 points over Bromsgrove and Redditch AC (230) in second and Cannock and Stafford AC (215) in third. This means that with one fixture left to play this summer, Shrewsbury are top of the league and potentially winning a place in the play-offs for promotion.

 Special mention goes to sprinter Lucas Ellam, who competed up an age group in the U20 Men's 100 and 200m and PBs of 12.1s/24.2s. It was also pleasing to see 8 athletes show real team spirit by competing in the throws, bringing home valuable points for the team. The Men's 4x400m relay team finished the day on a high, winning in a strong 04:13.6.
