News From Nairobi, Kenya, that on Saturday, former European Junior Champion, Tosin Oke, in representing Nigeria, took the African Championships triple jump title with a leap of 17.22m (+1.5). The mark is a personal best, improves Tosin’s WGwEL club record, and ranks 10th equal on this year’s world rankings. Congratulations to Tosin from all at WGwEL.



Jodie Swallow, whose last outing in a Woodford vest was a good run in the National Road Relay in April, performed excellently yesterday in Hyde Park to take 7th place in a world-class field in the 5th leg of the ITU Triathlon World Championship series. Not long after that relay leg, Jodie relocated to a training camp in Switzerland to pursue her 2012 Olympic ambitions. And her London performance suggests that the move is already paying off.
