Amy Phillpotts, Rebekah Atkinson, Laura Bannister and Laura Tunstall, four girls who are members of Horwich RMI in the under 15 cross country team , represented their school (Canon Slade) at the Northern Schools Regional Final . On a very cold and windy day in Barrow, these girls unfortunately narrowly missed out in qualifying for the National Final by only a few points. Over 72 runners competed on that day with Becky finishing 14th, Amy 18th, Laura T came 39th and Laura B 40th.
The next day, Becky, Amy and Laura B went on to compete for their school at the Biathlon Northern Regional Final in Liverpool, putting their disappointment of the previous day behind them, these girls gave an excellent performance.
Amy got awarded the best run for the fastest time at 1000m with Becky coming 3rd and Laura 8th. In the 100m swim Becky, Amy and Laura recorded personal bests.
Overall Becky came a fantastic 2nd, Amy 12th and Laura 18th. Both Becky and Amy will now go on to compete in the National finals in Bath in March 2009.
Well done to all four and good luck to Becky and Amy in the finals.

Horwich Rotary 2008 Christmas Heptathlon
Plenty of Christmas Smiles at Bolton Arena on Monday 8/12/2008. With 52 superb Competitors from our own club competing! What a fantastic night, packed with fun for all those that took part. All the young athletes ran, jumped and threw in 7 different indoor Sportshall athletic events in under 2 hours.
This was predominantly a competition for our Under 12 years of age. Athletes were put into 7 different teams, all of which were Captained by the older Athletes i.e. from Under 13’s, & 15’s.
The 2008 winners were the “Rudolph Team”, captained by Katie Bridge, with the rest of the team being, Sophie Myers, Lucy Keating, Kate Stephenson, Henry Whitehead, James Lovell & Joe Roberts.
It was also a fund raising opportunity and to date we estimate we may collect in the region of £200 towards a local charity, Derian House.
There was fantastic help from the parents and other volunteers.
Finally, a big thank you to the Rotary Club of Horwich for supporting this year’s event. Rotarian, Brian Gittins was on hand lending support on this wonderful night. It was a fantastic night for all the young athletes and the community of Horwich and Districts.
All our Athletes had a great night and they all competed with good spirit, great behaviour and gave their best for each event. Congratulations to everyone, they made their Coaches very proud!
