On Saturday 8th December 2018 Lee Valley will host the next Minithon Event.
Be Fit Today Track Academy fielded 20 young athletes from ages 7 yrs to 11 yrs at this legendary event on the 20th of October 2018 . An exceptional day of competition by all our kids in the various events including, Long jump, Javelin, Shot, 60m, 200m, and 600m.
It was inspiring to see our young children persevere in their events regardless of winning or losing. For many of them it was their first time competing at an official athletics event. We had resounding positive feedback from all of them…They had a lot of fun!
There where also some stand out performances in the throws and long jump, including those from Peter Ogbonwan 11 yrs old, who won the 200m (25.79s) in a time which is currently the fastest indoors in the UK this year for his age group. Peter also won his 60m even though he lost his right shoe during the first 20m of his race. He showed determination by continuing to run in his sock right to the end for top spot and a time of 8.18s.
There was a special guest appearance by Perry Shakes – Drayton who signed autographs, handed out medals and took pictures with our children.
