SPONSORSHIP AWARDED TO MIDDLE DISTANCE RUNNER DALE CLUTTERBUCK

Cedar Hall Clinic is delighted to award a treatment sponsorship to Basildon Athletic Club member Dale Clutterbuck. Coached by former Olympian and Commonwealth gold medallist Rob Denmark, 20 year old Dale is a middle distance runner who has excelled at all levels, winning two bronze medals at the English Schools Championships at 1500m in 2008 & 2009; silver in the UK Championships in 2008 followed by a bronze in the South of England Championships.

Serious injury curtailed his 2010 season but he bounced back in 2011 achieveing PB's in every event - 800m, 1500m & 3000m and won the Essex Championships at 800m & 1500m. He also competed in the Crystal Palace Diamond League at 3000m in front of a 10,000+ crowd, an experience which he thoroughly enjoyed and is keen to repeat.

With the 2012 summer season approaching Dale is hoping the Cedar Hall team can get him back to full fitness following a niggling injury so that he can train hard and achieve his set targets which include new PB's at 800m & 1500m, medalling in the BUCS Championships at the Olympic Stadium, making the Olympic finals at 1500m and also winning the U23 AAA championships. His long term goal is to be Olympic Champion at Rio de Janiero in 2016!

The Cedar Hall team will be working with Dale and all the sponsored athletes to help them achieve their goals in 2012 and beyond.

CEDAR HALL AWARDS TREATMENT SPONSORSHIP TO YOUNG CHAMPION

Hot on the heels of the sponsorship award to Gianni Frankis, Cedar Hall Clinic has awarded its fourth

treatment sponsorship to champion athlete Joshua Olawore. Nationally Joshua won the English Schools Intermediate Boys’ Octathlon Championships at Exeter on 17th & 18th September winning three of the eight individuals events (long jump, 100m hurdles and shot) and setting a new club record points total of 5200 points which ranks him number 1 in the UK this year (2011).

By comparison that is almost on a par with Britain’s last great international combined event athlete Dean Macey who scored 5311 points at the same age.

In August at the England Athletics championships at Bedford Joshua won the long jump with a new personal best and club record of 7.20m, and at the same championships he also won a bronze medal in the 100m hurdles in another personal best & club record. Indoors last winter he won a silver medal at triple jump in the National Under 17 championships and was fourth in the 60m hurdles event.

At County & Regional Joshua won indoor titles at 60m hurdles & long jump, and followed up with county outdoor titles at 100m hurdles and long jump, and Essex Schools title at Triple Jump. Joshua is a potential Great Britain international athlete and has been nominated for an Essex Sports Award 2011. This would provide added incentive for him to work hard towards the next level of achievement at U20 (Junior Level).

Coached by Tony Benton and Trevor Wells, 16 year old Joshua is a member of Havering Mayesbrook Athletic Club and lives in Thurrock and we are proud he is now one of our sponsored athletes.

We have already started working with Georgia and her coach Steve Mitchell and look forward to a long association”.

Fellow director Jacki Milne is equally enthusiastic. “We chose Georgia from a short list drawn up by Essex Athletics Network and the entire team of practitioners at Cedar Hall are committed to this project. We understand how difficult it can be for young athletes to get sponsorships of any kind and are all happy to be able to support Georgia in this way”.

She is also an Ambassador for 2011-2012 for the Chelmsford Sports Ambassador Scheme and we are proud to have her as a sponsored athlete.

Update September 2011 - An outstanding year for Georgia despite injury and all important A levels.
