Ollie takes bronze in NE Open Pentathlon
The events contested are sprint hurdles, shot put, long jump, high jump and 800m. Fin had a great day achieving personal best performances in four of the five events.
Ollie’s day didn’t start well in the hurdles and high jump but a massive personal best in the shot put pushed moved him closer but still a long way off the second and third placed athletes.

The pentathlon was an excellent event to round off a successful outdoor season.
