Meet 3 Fermus Energy Super 6 Series 2016

It was a  lovely warm evening down at the Mary Peters track for three Newcastle athletes attending Meet 3 of the Firmus Energy Super 6 Series.  Alex Johnston, Ciara Savage and Alana Lyons were all new to 70m Hurdles and Shot Putt events.  They did extremely well for first timers at the hurdles with Alex coming in with a super time of 15.19s followed by Ciara at  17.52s and  then Alana with 19.03s.  Next was the Shot Putt. Keen to give it a go, Alana showed signs that this is an event that she likes and has some definite skill,  throwing an impressive 4.34m and Ciara close behind throwing 3.43m.  Alex did a superb job supporting her teammates. Well done girls (see attached photo).
