Everybody Sport & Recreation recently announced the winners and finalists of the Everybody Junior Awards 2018. Crewe & Nantwich Athletics Club couldn’t be prouder to witness at a prestigious awards ceremony in Wilmslow four of our athletes; Arthur Elliot, Heidi Woods, Chloe Mason and Isabella Woods, recognised for their achievements over the past twelve months, as well as their dedication to sport, maintaining healthy lifestyles and supporting good causes.
Arthur Elliot – Junior Superstar Award Winner
Arthur won the Everybody Junior Achiever of the Year in 2017 and returned this year as a finalist for the 2018 award. Due to his commitment to see a challenge through to the end with outstanding results, the judging panel created a new award in recognition of his outstanding efforts and Arthur this year became the first Everybody Junior Superstar Award Winner.
Arthur set himself the task of completing a marathon in a week, running 6 kilometres a day! With an aim of raising £500, his last run coincided with the London Marathon. He smashed his goal raising a whopping £2,342.50 for his chosen charities! These charities included Shelter and Water Aid, and he even travelled to London to meet with Water Aid to see how the monies he raised would be used. Since then he has shown his dedication to Crewe and Nantwich Athletics Club rarely missing a training session and recently finishing 4th in the Under 11 North Staffordshire cross country league.
