First time outing for all four of our SUPERTeams girls. 

A team of 4 of our youngest juniors represented the club at the SuperTeams event at the Emirates. It was the first SuperTeams outing for all 4 girls who were one of the youngest teams to take part in the under 12s event.

They each competed in 4 events - 60m, Shot Put, Long Jump and a 4 x 200m relay. Many of them were taking part in events for the first time but they put in a great team performance and had a great day representing their club. They even managed to teach coach Alastair a few of their signatures poses!
