Wing Athletics – Bury St Edmunds
Sunday 9th of May saw 17 cadets travelling up to Bury St Edmunds to take part in Wing Athletics where squadrons from across Norfolk and Suffolk compete against each other in track and field events in the hope of winning the Bev Charlesworth Memorial bowl as overall champions.
Ipswich did fantastically compared to years gone by and it’s safe to say everyone who attended felt very proud by the end of a long day. After all the scores were tallied up it emerged that Ipswich boys had come 2nd, just missing out on the top spot to 863 (Thurston) Squadron.
Cdt Whiting came 1st in 400m and set a new wing record, Cdt Brass came 1st in discuss and Cdt Read came 1st in both high jump and long jump.
Those three cadets have been selected to represent Norfolk and Suffolk Wing in their respective events at Leicester on Sunday 23rd May and how ever successful they are, they will receive a ‘wing blue’ for representing N&S.
