Welsh Athletics has established a series of workshops for coaches to engage in developmental opportunities over the next few weeks prior to the track season commencing. These opportunities are designed to allow coaches to come together, create networks of support within their event groups and to learn more about the events they coach.

Swansea Harriers has a large team of very dedicated volunteer officials that help the club fulfill its commitments in all its league, cup and championship fixtures on and off track throughout the year. However we really need many more officials to be able to host fixtures and field a team of officials in away fixtures.

In what was a very busy weekend there was also the British Universities Indoor Athletics Championships over the 25th & 26th February at the English Institute of Sport at Sheffield. The club had a few athletes present representing their university teams.

The weekend of the 25th & 26th February were the England Athletics U15, U17 & U20 Indoor Championships at Birmingham. The club had several athletes who had reached the tough entry standards and entered where they were up against some of the UK's top juniors.

Saturday 25the February were the Welsh Schools Cross Country Championships at Brecon. Athletes were representing their school districts, and in the Junior & Middle age groups those that finished near the front will be hoping they have done enough to impress the Welsh School selectors for the British Schools International. Swansea Harriers had several athletes running most representing the Afan Nedd Tawe School District.

Good luck this weekend to all those athletes who have reached the tough entry standards and entered the England Athletics U15, U17 & U20 Indoor Championships at Birmingham on Saturday & Sunday where they will be up against some of the UK's top juniors; Naomi James U20W Pole Vault, Lewis Preece U17M Pole Vault,

Thursday 16th February saw Welsh Schools host a long throws and hurdles event at Cardiff. The event was held so early as Welsh Schools must select an U17 team for the School Games to be held as one of the test events in the Olympic Stadium on the 9th May, before the end of this month. The results will be used to consider selection for the team including last years outdoors and this years indoors results.

Saturday 18th February were the Welsh Athletics Cross Country Championships at St Fagans Cardiff, and the club had another very successful day. Congratulations and thanks to all those athletes who represented the club.

Saturday 11th February was round 4 of 5 in the Gwent Cross Country League at Brecon. Congratulations to all those who took part.
