Shropshire Sportshall League Final 2002
The Olympians Decade

Arnie Wray drove back from a Coaching session in Stoke with three of the older junior members in time to see Olympians take the overall Sportshall League Trophy for an amazing 10th year in succession. Arnie has now lead Olympians to overall victory from 1993 to 2002 in an unbroken story of success. On the day Olympians took no less than 6 of the 9 trophies on offer in the Shropshire Sportshall League.

Not only did Olympians take the Overall Trophy, but their combined success in all age groups lead them to take the Overall Boys & Overall Girls Trophies as well. Under 11 Girls battled hard narrowly clinching their trophy from a strongly chasing Telford. Meanwhile the Under 15 Girls & Under 15 Boys took maximum points at every meeting, for a run away success in their age groups.
 
Post Script - Arnie also attained another milestone on the day, of which he is exceedingly proud. At the end of each league season each club enters a team in a seniors relay race, & Arnie competes ignominiously every year. But for the very first time this year he was part of the winning team!!!
 
P.P.S. - That was 2002 & now in 2004 we have done it again & made it 12 years.

This is where it all started - Do you recognise any of the stars of yesteryear

Twelve young Oswestry Olympians were among the Shropshire team who recently competed in the West Midlands Sports Hall finals at Hereford on 2nd Feb 2002 against Gloucester, Worcerster, Warwickshire & Birmingham. Several athletes enjoyed individual success with Gemma Weetman putting in an outstanding performance in her first year in the Under 15 age group. She took four silver medals in the Standing long jump, Four laps, Speed bounce and runners up spot in the all-rounder competition. Team mate Jenny Corbett also performed brilliantly to win two silver medals in the Two laps and Standing long jump. In the Under 13 age group it was Cherida Lauriello jumped well to claim a silver medal in the Standing long jump, with Charlotte Roberts third in the Six lap race. The boys were also in the medals, Chris Ellis took Gold in the 6 Lap race & Ashley Martin Bronze in the High Jump
 
The Under 15 girls, Under 15 boys & Under 13 Girls were all third overall but the Under 13 boys put in a great performance to finish 4 points ahead of Birmingham to win their age group & book themselves a place in the National Finals at the NIA in Birmingham on March 24th.
