The Central & East Regional Athletics Championships took place on Sunday 20 th May 2007 at Saffron Lane Sports Stadium, Leicester.
Unfortunately for us The Warwickshire & Birmingham Wing Team was severely weakened due to almost 50% of the original cadets selected withdrawing for various reasons. As a result we finished last overall in The Championships and the result in the individual Age Groups was as follows:
- Class 'A' (Boys) 2 nd
- Class 'B' (Youths) 4 th
- Class 'C' (Junior Men) 6 th
- Class 'D' (Girls) 5 th
- Class 'E' (Junior Women) 6 th
We did however have some individual successes and these were as follows:
