My name is Ben Higgins, Ive just turned 17 and I’m a track and field athlete. My main events are 400m Hurdles and 400m. I am really honoured and grateful to have the support of the Nigel Harris Sports Foundation behind me this season, it will be such a help for me.
Today I competed at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield in my first indoor competition of the season. It was also my first one as an U20 having just moved up from U17 age group. I was really pleased with how well my 60mH race went over the higher U20 hurdles, I also ran a solid time in 60m flat and got a pb in 600m! It was great to be back on the track and the EIS is such a nice venue - I really enjoyed the day!
For now it’s back to hard winter training for the next month until my next competition in January.
