On Saturday athletes from Thornton Academy and Scarborough toed the line, or entered the circle for the first time this winter. Ironically both schools are in "yellow" counties so haven't been able to practice with their coaches this winter.

Kezal who hasn't raced since March got off to a strong start and took the lead 400m in and lead until just before the 800m mark. She would battle well over the rest of the race recording a strong opening race effort of 5:16.07, which was good for fifth in heat 10, and 16th overall among all races.
