Indoor National Games at Picketts Lock

Eleven athletes from the Eastbourne group took part in the 2 day indoor National Games at Picketts Lock in March. They competed in track (200m or 60m) and field (long jump, standing long jump and shotput), together with various relays.

Competition was strong with some 170 athletes taking part from around the country. The youngsters from Eastbourne were proud to achieve 5 gold, 8 silver and 2 bronze medals as well as 9 participation ribbons, between them.

Families and friends went along to support the athletes and they all had accommodation in a local Travelodge.

Picketts Lock is a superb venue, having only been opened some 2 years ago. It will be used as a training track for the 2012 Olympics.
