Horsham Blue Stars end Sportshall season as record-breakers

Gabriel Thomas set a new league record as Horsham Blue Star Harriers ended their Sussex Sportshall League campaign in style.

His score of 56 in the under-11 speed bounce was a new best as the boys’ team finished second overall behind Crawley, and the girls’ team were third behind Crawley and Brighton.

It was one of many highlights for the Blue Stars, which included wins for Ashley Gorton (45.4secs) in the under-15 four lap race and the eight lap paarlauf alongside Jack Milnthorpe. Also on the top step of the podium were: Andrew Price (21.2s) in the two lap race; Esme Vale, who leapt 2.32m to win the standing long jump; plus the under-11 and under-15 boys’ relay teams.
