SOUTHAMPTON Athletic Club’s magnificent young athletes made history in Bedford over the weekend as they were crowned national champions of the UK Youth Development League.
From the moment team captains Sam Callaway and Josh Wise spoke some inspirational words at the Friday evening team meeting, it was clear the club’s under-13 and under-15 track and field crew were going to give the final everything they had.
And how gloriously they rose to the occasion, leaving Edinburgh and Blackheath & Bromley in their wake to triumph with 612 points.
