and Chiswick’s Navy, the Sea Cadets of Training Ship Stork proved
their fitness on the track and field in the Sea Cadets, South West London

Despite only being ten strong, the cadets took on the bigger units and managed a credible fourth overall, only beaten by units fielding teams twice the size of Chiswick’s.
The
Girls under 15 4x100m relay team who stormed to victory with an impressive
lead of 75m (see picture right). Other notable individual performances
were provided by; Cadet Paris Williams who excelled in both track and
field by winning the discus and the 1500m, Cadet Lorell Rawlins took the
200m and Cadet Chantelle Williams the 400m.
Cadet Jo Murray “Ruby” stormed through the finish line in the 100m only sadly, to be disqualified for straying into a neighbouring lane, a mistake that she will only make the once!
Sunday was a red-letter day for Junior Sea Cadet Sharif Moore. “Pony” also celebrated his twelfth birthday and promotion to Senior Cadet. This occasion was marked in the traditional TS Stork manner with a soaking!
