Reading ACs U13 and U15 athletes have won the prestigious UK Youth Development League final in Bedford on 8 September 2018 and are now crowned as national champions.
The combined boys and girls teams were competing against Blackheath and Bromley, Cardiff Archers, Edinburgh, Marshall Milton Keynes, Preston Harriers and Sale Harriers. Reading's athletes slowly climbed up the leaders table as the day progressed and were trailing the leaders by just three and a half points as the teams went into the final set of relay events.
At the end of the relays the Reading athletes, their coaches and family members were ecstatic to learn that Reading had won the competition with a seven and a half point lead.

In favourable conditions many pb’s were set so well done all!
Performances of particular note were Kaya Slater running a 13.4 secs personal bestin the 100m and Tomi Adejuwon winning her 70m Hurdles race in a very fast 11.2 secs. Despite hitting the 2nd hurdle, she still lowered her own club record!
