Athletics report

The Stratford Athletics Club fielded 29 athletes at the Taranaki Athletics Championships in Inglewood on Sunday, February 22.

Stratford was the second biggest club to attend the day, which co-ordinator Sonia Candy says "is a huge achievement considering we have been rebuilding our club over the last few years".

Children were able to enter in five events each on the day which ranged from field events to track events.

Daniel Hancock, president of the Stratford club, says it was a very successful day for the club with numerous medals and ribbons being presented to Stratford athletes. He adds that it wouldn't have been possible without all the parent volunteers who are involved in the club.
