Papplewick Boy becomes National Javelin Champion!

24th June 2015

Many congratulations to Ben Smith-Bannister on winning the National Prep Schools Javelin Title at Alexander Stadium, Birmingham.

Ben won the National Preparatory Schools Championships Under 14 javelin, with a throw of 36.25m. In third place going into the final round, his was the last attempt of the competition and he threw a personal best by nearly three metres...Fatima Whitbread would be proud of him!
