Coach praises Ellis after World Championships
WARRINGTON Athletics Club’s coach Phil Hicken has paid tribute to Harry Ellis after his appearance in the World Junior Championships.
Ellis finished eighth in the third heat of the 1500m in Moncton, Canada, producing one of the fastest times by a European on the day.
Hicken said: “Harry ran tactically very well until he was unfortunately involved in a small pile-up with 600 metres to go, which was a consequence of athletes ahead of him pushing and shoving.
“Despite that Harry got on with his race but couldn’t match the finishing speed of the African athletes, who put in a 39-second final 300m.
“It has been a positive experience for Harry and for me as his coach.
“We have learned some lessons this season, had very positive feedback from UK Athletics on his training, race temperament and ability to adapt to new environments. And the feedback at the championships from UKA was glowing.”

Carter selected for GB
A WARRINGTON gymnast and former Guardian Sports Pesonality of the Year Chris Carter finished in eighth place at the World Sport Acrobatic Championships in Wroclav, Poland, last week. Carter was representing Great Britain in the men’s four event, lying third on the first day behind the Great Britain number one team and the Chinese number one team. The second day saw them drop to fourth place after being given a time penalty and a disappointing third day saw them finish in eighth place. Carter has been selected, along with the Wakefield men’s four, to represent Great Britain at the European Team Championships in Reslauz, Poland in October.
Athletic success for St Gregory’s High School
ST GREGORYS finished the academic year celebrating athletic success after five pupils represented the school at Cheshire Championships level and above. Matthew Pontifex, aged 16, was sixth for Great Britain in 1500m at the FISEC Games in Tours, France, as well as competing in the Cheshire Championships. Ashley Kirsopp, aged 13, did so well in the county event that he competed above his age group in the 75m hurdles at the English Schools Championships, achieving a national standard time of 11.95secs. Patrick Iredale, aged 12, won the Year Seven 1500m race at the Cheshires, while Owen Haggerty, aged 15, was second in the 400m year 10 event and Lotte Buffel, aged 15, was third in the 300m. All except Lottie are members of Warrington Athletics Club and received further training at the school’s athletics society, which Owen and Matthew helped to run. School sports coordinator Rob Wilby said: “They’re a real product of hard work and reaping the rewards.”
