An athlete at Monmouth School for Boys has been picked to represent Wales at a British indoor event in Scotland next month.

Fifteen-year-old Aharon will be competing in the Schools International Athletic Board (SIAB) Combined Events International at the Emirates Arena, Glasgow, on Saturday 4th December.

He – and the other selected Welsh athletes – will go head-to-head against teams from England, Ireland and Scotland.

It is a tremendous achievement for Aharon, who gained selection after shining in the Welsh Athletics/Welsh Schools Indoor Combined Events at the National Indoor Athletics Centre in Cardiff.

Aharon took part in the Under-18 Boys’ pentathlon, consisting of long jump, 200 metres, shot put, 800 metres and 60 metres hurdles. He finished a very creditable fourth place.

He achieved three personal-best performances out of the five events and was just three points shy of the bronze medal position.

Earlier this year, Aharon smashed his personal best for the pole vault to rise into the top 10 in the UK and second in Wales for the under-17 age-group.

He secured a bronze at the Under-17 Welsh Junior Championships in August and a silver at the Welsh Under-17 decathlon championships earlier in the summer.

Last year, Aharon was both the Welsh Indoor Under-15 and East Wales Indoor Regional pole vault champion and finished fifth in the English indoor Age Group Championship.

He has won Welsh and regional medals in other disciplines, including the 60m, 60m hurdles, high jump, triple jump and shot.
