Year 11 pupil Alyssa has become the under 17 women’s indoor 400m South of England champion after excelling in the South of England Indoor Track and Field Championships earlier this month.

As one of the youngest in the field, Alyssa wasn’t expecting to reach the podium, let alone run a stunning 59.42s and take first place! This was Alyssa’s first race at this distance and in this new age group. Well done Alyssa!
