Well Done Sam!

Huge congratulations to Sam from Ridgeway Academy for achieving a new PB of 7.18s in the 60m sprint at the English Indoor Athletics Championships, making the Semi Finals and finishing Top 24!

Sam shared his journey: “ I started athletics back in Year 8 because of Ridgeway, and I’m so grateful to all my teachers, coaches, and peers who encouraged me to give it a try. Competing for the school became an amazing outlet for me, a place to have fun and escape to for a while. Without that opportunity, I wouldn’t have joined my club or met the incredible coaches and friends who’ve shaped my journey leading up to me qualifying and making the semi-finals in nationals 60m. Thanks to all of them, because without them I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
