Fantastic 2 Bronze Medals for John Ruddy
Deaf UK Athletics international and member of Kirkintilloch Olympians has been working really hard during the winter season. His hard work has been paying off. He is improving rapidly in training and in his indoor competitions, John has shown his increased strength through improving on his sprint PBs.
So far, Ruddy has won a bronze medal at the Scottish U20 National Championships and another bronze medal in the Scottish Schools Championships. Both were in the 200m. In-between he improved his 60m PB when he ran 7.47s to go under 7.5s for the first time.
“I am really pleased to get this "monkey " off my back as it was getting annoying” Ruddy said.
His 200m performances have been in low 23sec and he is hoping to run close to 22.5 soon.
After his brilliant performances, John's coach immediately started talking about next training session, as he doesn't bother to much about the indoor season, "Indoors are only a guide to how training is going", "it's the outdoor season that matters" his final comment was "I'll have John ready for Taipei, but that was good today, he worked hard."
DUKA is very pleased about Ruddy’s performances. Keep it going John. Well done!
