Shot putting skills made quite a difference to the overall results at the DSD Juvenile Pentathlon. The shiny new circle added to the interest with its non-slip surface taking a bit of getting used too.

Claudia’s 7.29m gave her a vital 354 points for victory in the U14 girls; well done also Jenny with 6.25m- there’s more to come from both these girls!
