Well done youngsters! Best wishes for the season. ?????
See you all at the Camperdown Classic on Saturday, February 12, 2020. ?
Go twinie wating to see u both at champs
Champs should not be missed this year.
You go Tina and Tia.
No, phantom time.
I see greatness
Edwin Allen have a very powerful class two sprint team…any of five girls can win.
It’s going to be hard to beat the Clayton twins? But Hall, Cole and Miles…wow, only two can run.
Now it begs the question, why one school have five people in the same class that can win the 100 and 200
Big up the youth from Maggotty, 4:01.30 is a big time for a Class 3 boy. I just hope he will stay at Maggotty and help lift his school, but again u just can’t trust the BIG 3
Im sure this boy from Maggotty will be at one of the big town schools come next year…Will show that the small schools will never grow the right way
4.01.30 for class 3 ..wait that right ??
You go girls you are the best
