Comments for Aldershot, Farnham & District Athletics Club http://www.afd.org.uk Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:37:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Erin Shee by admin http://www.afd.org.uk/archives/561#comment-7 admin Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:37:17 +0000 http://www.afd.org.uk/?p=561#comment-7 I first met Erin soon after I started coaching athletics – at a Hampshire County Athletics coaching event – Erin had been invited to attend the day as one of Hampshire’s promising athletes. When she first came to join my jumps group we focussed on the long jump – but it was in the triple jump where she excelled. Her best performance came in 2010 when she leaped out to over 10.70m which ranked her 33rd in the country for her age. And this season she picked up her 3rd consecutive Hampshire County Triple Jump title. There was certainly more for her to give in the event. But her jumping ability was just one small part of Erin. She was a bubbly young woman who was always, and I mean always, talking - it could be exhausting! She always had a story to tell and was genuinely liked by all who met her. Erin was a large part of the jumps group and the club more widely. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her – but will remain in our hearts.
