England Athletics U15 Championships 2010 Bedford
22/08/2010
Clarice Parrott, a member of Braintree & District A.C., accomplished another success as one of the leading Under 15 Girls Long Jumpers in the UK, when taking 3rd place in the England Athletics U15/U17 Outdoor Championships at Bedford's International Track on Sunday.
Her consistent jumping in the 5.22mtr range earned her Silver position after the first two rounds but she was then demoted to Bronze spot when the eventual second place athlete did a final best jump of 5.26mtrs.
Clarice maintained her form throughout the competition with two jumps of 5.22mtrs, plus a 5.19mtrs and 5.18mtrs leap to justify her Bronze medal placing.
One other achievement was to beat the UK U15 number 2 ranked athlete in this prestigious national competition.
With two major meetings ,an AA Inter-Counties and England Schools' Combined Events still oustanding before the end of the season she still had opportunities to improve her position of 6th on the U15 national ranking list.
