Wee County Vaulters

 

 

Wee County Junior Team!!!

In March 2008 Wee County decided to form a Junior team. We have 8 vaulters, Yasmin Williamson, Helen Anderson, Rebecca Norval, Cassie McIlwraith, Joscelin Craig, Brogan Moffat, Kirsty Clyde and Andrew MacLachlan.

We decided to go up for selection to try to qualify for the European Junior Championships in Brno, Czech Republic, August 08, and have recently found out that we have been chosen to represent Great Britain there. The Junior team train every Tuesday night from 7-10 and Sundays 1-4pm, coached by John Eccles. We have a huge amount of support from the parents, which helps keep the club running and contibutes to our success.

The Junior Team came 6th place at the European Championships in Brno.
