The Gold medal wining exploits of Katie Caulfield at the English Schools Championships means that she has also been selected to compete for England next weekend at Bedford international stadium in the Schools home international meeting.  Another fantastic achievement at the English Schools Champs last weekend was delivered by the Herts Senior Girls team.  Heavily loaded with Herts Phoenix athletes, they won the Jean Hayward Trophy by beating the other 12 largest Counties in category 'A'.

Due to many other commitments the Herts Phoenix men's team was very depleted last Saturday for its home match at Gosling Stadium, Welwyn Garden City with only 7 athletes able to compete. However these athletes put in some very good performances with several first and second places and most members competing in 3 or 4 events plus the relays, the team finished in 5th place.
