WEYMOUTH St Paul’s Harriers enjoyed an excellent day at the South West Championships in Exeter, with every member winning at least one medal.
In the under-13 boys’ section, Ben Jones was the club’s top achiever, taking gold in the javelin, bronze in the 100m and fourth place in the 200m, while Robert Hunter made it a Weymouth one-two in the javelin also taking silver in the 75m hurdles.
Ryan Purse, who recently broke the club’s long-standing under-13 1,500m record, took bronze in the distance.
In the under-13 girls, Adelaide Elsom claimed silver in the high jump and Caila Kirkpatrick (also a recent WSPH record breaker) won bronze in the discus.
James Tufnail bagged gold in the under-15 boys’ javelin.
Hannah Westhenry took bronze in the under-17 girls’ hammer, while older brother Ben Westhenry made a welcome return to competition after an injury-hit year when he claimed silver in the senior men’s 1,500m, in his first senior track race.
