Norfolk County Track Championships 13/14th May 2017

Sam Coyne had an outstanding run in the 1 mile finishing 2nd senior man in a time of 4.49.5. This was Sam’s first time on the track and he paced it exactly right. I expect he will have stiff legs in the morning for the 5000m but he’ll have 12.5 laps to loosen up!! The 5000 metres the following day…
