Lacrosse World Championships 2010

Olympic hopeful Shaunna Thompson shares sprinting tips with England stars

 

European Lacrosse Champions, England, have continued their training by seeking expert coach­ing tips from another Eng­lish hero, Shaunna Thompson. Fittingly, on St. George’s Day, the two English hopefuls shared train­ing tips, in both speed and strength.

 

The England Lacrosse squad are in intense training and Shaunna Thompson, the 2012 Ol­ympic hopeful and 2009 Gold med­allist at the 200m and 100m Com­monwealth Youth Games, was on hand to provide tips to the squad on how to be quick off the mark and to run rings around their op­ponents at the Championships. Both Shaunna and the England squad competed in a world-class weekend of running in Man­chester on the 15th and 16th May. The England squad ran in the Great Manchester 150 on the 15th May and Shaunna  competed in the Great CityG­ames, against some of the world’s best athletes, on the 16th May.

 

 

The Great Manchester 150 is held on a four lane track, which was run by Usain Bolt to record the fastest time in history over 150m, at last year’s Great CityGames Manchester. La­crosse is dubbed “the fastest sport on 2 feet” and the English team will be out to prove that on the track.
