The Christmas cobwebs were well and truly blown away as numerous PB's and club records were set at the Sheffield RJT indoor meet on the 29th. Luke Pichler produced his best U20 60m hurdles race to date - soaring to a PB and club record of 8.34s. Luke was delighted with 11.58m in his first comp with the 6kg shot, and he finished with a strong 60m, just 0.01s outside of his PB. India Gorvett was breaking new ground, as she attempted U15 hurdles and shot for the first time. She exceeded expectations in both events, setting benchmark PB's to build on. Older sister Senna made her U20 hurdles debut, and adapted well to the new height and spacing to break the club record. She finished with a 400m, recording a solid 61.17s to break the 10 year old indoor 400m club record. Sadie Parker also travelled, but unfortunately was not able to compete after a slight injury niggle during warm-up.
