Track & Field teams

In 2011 the Club fulfilled one ambition when the Men won promotion to return to the national league and now plans are being made to work our way up from Division Four of the Men's National League. The Club now has to push in 2012 for the women's team to achieve the same. We will therefore continue to strengthen our teams through athlete development and external recruitment in all events.

We will continue to compete in the under-20 National Junior League in 2012 as part of a composite 'Team Avon' facilitated by the Avon Athletics Network . This new initiative is designed to meet the needs of local athletes who have grown out of the National Young Athletes League but who are not yet ready for full senior competition on the national stage. This new development in 2011 saw the composite team achieve promotion to the Premiership of the Midland League in its first year of competition. For further information see Downloads - Track and Field Competition - National Junior Track & Field League.

Our teams in the National Young Athletes League are looking forward to an improved performance in the division after successful pre-season recruitment drives as part of our Athletics in the Community programme. The management team of Hilary Nash, Simonne Lowrey (U15 & U17 Boys) and Andrea Lock (U13 Boys & Girls) worked wonders in 2011 to secure promotion in this league. For further information see Downloads - National Young Athletes League.

The Avon Track and Field League matches give our members the opportunity to enjoy local friendly competition. For further information see - Downloads - Avon League.

Finally, 2010 saw the opening of two new tracks: Bristol & West's training home at Whitehall Athletics Arena (Packers) and a new competition and training venue at the Kip Keino Athletic Stadium at the Stoke Gifford Sports Complex of Filton College's WISE Campus. These new facilities and the competitions that were staged at them in the summer of 2011 gave the Club the added impetus to succeed in securing promotion for the Senior Men to the National League and promotion in the National Junior League and the National Young Athletes' League in 2011.
