Track and field news 10/08/25
A busy period for some of our individual athletes at national level.
National Senior and U20 Championships, Birmingham
2 - 3 August
This is an invitation only competition and AAC saw three of our female athletes competing at national senior level.
First up was Tiffany Cox in the senior women’s 100m, which considering she broke her foot in February was an achievement on its own.
