Magic from Wimborne Athletic Club’s Mila

Mila Desborough has done it again. Unbeaten in 19 competitions this season, the under-15 added the UK Javelin title to her list of achievements at Birmingham’s Alexander Stadium on Saturday 9 August.

Mila competes for Wimborne Athletic Club and lives in Alderholt. She has won the English Schools title, the South West Schools and South West Athletics Association titles and still has a year to go in the age group. Mila holds the English Schools championship best performance and the South West League record among others.

In the championships, every one of Mila’s throws exceeded 40 metres and she won the event with a throw of 44.61. Her best throw this season of 45.97 puts her seventh in the UK All Time list for throwers in her age group.
