    Quinn competed at the Staffordshire County Championships in Northwood on Saturday, taking part in the 75m, 600m and long jump events. He achieved a fantastic 3rd place and won his first medal of the season in the long jump. After a wobbly start, he showed great determination to pull it back with strong 3rd and 4th jumps to secure bronze. He also came 2nd in his 75m heat. It was Quinn's first time competing in the 600m, which took place straight after long jump, making his performance even more impressive. Super proud of him and all his hard work! His next competition will be at Trafford on 14 June.
