Courteney Disley

Courteney has been training for approximately 3 years and is a successful Athlete in the u 15 age group. Her events of 100mtrs and 200mtrs sprints are where she is at her best, she would hope to improve her personal best times this year. This should be an achievable goal based on her efforts during training and specific technique work.

Lucy Diss

Lucy has been training for approximately 4 years and is a very successful Athlete in the u 15 age group. Lucy’s events of 100mtrs and 200mtrs are where she excels. Lucy is expected to improve her personal best times for these events and to be in contention for a place in the English school’s championships 2017.She is likely to be adding more training units to her schedule on a weekly basis to assist in her improving her speed endurance for her events.

Cerys Smith

Cerys is the youngest member of the squad and has been training for 2 years despite her young age. Cerys is the younger sister of Chayce and hopes to emulate her sister’s achievements in Athletics. Cerys has just started racing regularly this season and has been very successful. As races for u 9yrs are sometimes sparse she has raced in the above age group of u11. Cerys is a naturally gifted Athlete and always puts 1005 effort into all aspects of her training. It is not surprising that in doing so this has paid off in that she has achieved 4 x club records this year in the 75 mtrs,150 mtrs,300mtrs and the mile.

Naomi Conteh

Naomi is relatively new to the squad and has been training with us for the last four months. She is a keen sprinter at both 100 and 200mtrs, and has an interest in multi events such as high jump and long jump etc. This year I would estimate she reaches her personal best goals for an athlete new to the sport. From there with winters training she can push forward into the following year with that foundation of a training base in place.

Emma Simpson

Emma is an experienced athlete and has competed for the club for many years, Emma has multi event abilities in both jumps and throwing events and is always keen to compete in every event helping the team in terms of points in league matches etc. In terms of sprint events she has begun to concentrate on the 300mtrs event and we have worked on posture technique and more speed endurance sessions to develop this event.

Charly Rosenblatt

Charly has been training with the squad for approximately four years and is a technically gifted runner. She has recently been making improvements in her 100mtrs event. This has been with a view to trying to achieve this year’s Maccabi games in Israel.      

Zak Martin (13 yrs)

Zak has been coached by me for approx 3 yrs and is a keen and talented hurdler, he attends Thurdays training session to develop his overall speed and speed endurance. Zaks possible long term goals are the 400 metres hurdles which potentially may be his best event.

Peter is a very talented all round athlete and posseses great plyometric strenght and jumping ability. He has improved his speed and technique over recent years and will hope to challenge for medals at this years county champs once again.
