ST Helens Sutton AC held their annual presentation evening last Friday and celebrated the successes of many athletes across track and field, cross country, road running and sports hall athletics.

It was topped off by having special guest, Olympic athlete Jenny Meadows, presenting all the prizes.

Meadows captivated everyone when she gave a truly inspirational speech to the athletes and thanked all the parents, coaches and officials for all their hard work and support, which enables the athletes to compete and try and achieve their goals and dreams.

She also brought a signed Great Britain top and a signed competition number for the raffle and happily spent much of the evening signing autographs and having pictures taken.

Huge thank you to Meadows and her husband and coach Trevor.
