Squadron Run Day

The cadets of 134 (Bedford) Squadron recently claimed third place in the Wing Athletics competition, where they competed against the thirty squadrons in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

The cadets competed in all elements of athletics, from long jump to long distance running on Sunday 22nd April 2007, at the traditional venue of Bedford International Athletics Stadium.
 

 

The determination, effort and high morale of Bedford Squadron was clear to see at all times, from the early birds who set up the catering for the event, once again courtesy of the squadron’s Civilian Committee members, to the latest leavers, who dismantled the catering tent.

Several cadets will now go on to represent the Wing at Regional level in their events, after winning on Sunday.

In addition to plenty of drive, there were plenty of medals to be seen as well amongst the Bedford cadets. The following cadets earned medals at the event:

Gold:
Cdt Gilbert, High Jump
Cpl Denham, 1500m
CWO Otulakowski, 800m
CWO Otulakowski, 1500m

Silver:
Cdt Cook, 4 X 100m Relay
Cdt Gilbert, 4 x 100m Relay
Cdt Rawlins, 4 x 100m Relay
Cdt Soroko, 4 x 100m Relay
Cdt Malyan, 4 x 100m Relay
Cdt Mead, 4 x 100m Relay
Cdt Morse, 4 x 100m Relay
Cdt Riches, 4 x 100m Relay
Cdt Morse, Javelin
FS Russell, Shot

Bronze:
Cdt Morse, 100m
FS Russell, Javelin
 

Overall, there was an excellent effort put in by all members of the squadron on the day, whether on the track, or on the field, or on the side encouraging the competitors, and by the members of the Civilian Committee who did an excellent job of raising over £500 for squadron funds through providing some delicious catering on the day.

Cadet Gabriella Soroko, 15, said of the event, ‘I thoroughly enjoyed the athletics today; it’s exciting to compete against the rest of the wing, and to do so well at the end of it all.’

Flight Lieutenant Mark Robinson, Commanding Officer 134 (Bedford) Squadron, said ‘Well done to all those that participated, and especially everybody who won medals today. Everyone that I saw compete put in their all, and coming third overall is an excellent result, justly deserved by a very good team.’
