A handful of Basildon athletes showed the golden touch when they competed in the Eastern Indoor Championships with considerable success.
Gold was certainly the flavour of the day with sprinters Ryan O’Sullivan (under-15 7.4secs ) and Kirsty Shepherd (under-20 7.9) both being crowned champions over the 60 metres.
Senior heptathlete Heidi Nicholas was back in action, earning first places in the 60 metres (8.1), long jump (5.09 metres) and 60 hurdles (9.8) as well as silver in the high jump (1.50).
Silver lining went to Sade Bailey in the under-20 women’s high jump (1.50).
