A fantastic morning at Meadowbank for our Young Athletes, meeting up with Our World Record Breaker Josh Kerr.
Josh Presented Yvonne Jones with a bouquet of flowers, before taking all the athletes in warmups and drills, then it was time for the 222 Challenge.
The athletes were split into age groups and ran for 222 seconds, the time of Josh’s Record-Breaking Mile, to see what distance the could achieve in that time.
Then it was time for photos and autographs, with time and words of encouragement given to each athlete
Yvonne and Edinburgh Leisure’s Brian King presented Josh with a frame with a signed Edinburgh AC vest and photographs of Josh in it. This will go up on the wall at Meadowbank to inspire athletes now and of the future. #madeinmeadowbank
Not only was it a World Record for the Mile but also set a New Club Record and Josh was presented with a Club Record Certificate
All the athletes were given shoes, t-shirts and buffs courtesy of Brooks.
Many thanks to Josh, Brooks and Edinburgh Leisure for a very special event for our Young Athletes
