The South of England ( SEAA)
Indoor Athletics Championships 2007
Was held at the recently opened Indoor athletics Centre at
Lee Valley Centre Pickets Lock, Edmonton. The centre is the first of its size in the South of England and boasts a 200m running track and indoor throwing area.
The recent success rate at International level of Swedish Athletes has been put down to the number of indoor athletic centres they have built around the country which enable all year round training in what ever the weather.
Why not build one in Camden or Islington? All the young athletes from Highgate Harriers loved the facility especially since the Parliament Hill outdoor track was closed on Thursday due to 80mph Winds!
