Horsham Indoor Sprints and Hurdles, 12 January 2012
15 young athletes from the club travelled to Horsham to take part in an indoor sprints and hurdles competition in the ‘tube’ at Broadbridge Heath. With the weather as cold as it has been this was a good choice and there were some good performances.
