Race walking Mitchells
10 Feb 2020
Natasha and Rebecca Mitchell competed in Sunday's Southern Area Race Walking Championships and London Open Walks Competition. Despite a chilly breezy day at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit their winter training paid off with both coming away with huge PBs. Natasha led the first walk from start to finish, coming away with 1st place in the U15G, with 16:46 for 3km. Rebecca experienced some exciting racing in the larger second walk, coming 3rd in the u17W with 31:40 for 5km. They were Winchester's first ever race walkers at this event and their success was a credit to the support of our band of hard working Winchester Race Walkers and their dance and swim training.
As a result of Natasha's recent wins she has been chosen to represent England for the England vs Ireland race walk at the end of Feb on the Isle of Man!
Action packed few days at the pool this weekend for our swimmers. Well done to all those who took part.
The first of six sessions started on Saturday 20 September!
AMAZING – huge congratulations to all that swam at the Hampshire County Championships. RATS had a total of 34 swimmers in the Freestyle and Medley Relays, each swimmer putting in a great effort to make the Club proud. We had 14 swimmers competing in individual events bringing home a total of: 9 Gold, 8 Silver and 8 Bronze medals. Of those 14 individuals, 86% achieved a PB – fantastic effort!
