	Bassetlaw district represented by pupils from Tuxford Comprehensive School won the: 6 Lap Paarlauf Vertical High Jump Long Jump Javelin 4 x 1 and 4 x 2 Lap Relays
	They shared the Speed Bounce and 8 Lap Paarlauf events with close rivals Nottingham City who have dominated the event in previous Youth Games competitions.
	The competition involved around 100 athletes aged 11 to 13 competing across a range of athletics disciplines – all of which took place in the sports hall. Each competitor took part in: one individual sprint middle-distance race or an eight lap Paarlauf (a race where each athlete runs a chosen number of laps). There were two relay races and two field events in which each competitor took part.
	Athletics Development Officer for Nottinghamshire Mike Beaumont said “Congratulations to Bassetlaw on their first Youth Games Sportshall Athletics win. We look forward to seeing the squad members doing well in their sport across further competitions in the county. We also hope that many of today’s other competitors have enjoyed athletics enough today to join clubs in their area.”
