Edge Hill Athletics is the official track, field and cross-country team for Edge Hill University. Whilst individual athletes have been representing the university since 2013, the team was first formalised in 2018. The teams' first official committee consisted of four members who were the only athletes. After struggling to maintain the team through COVID-19, delivering virtual sessions and all competitions being cancelled, it didn't look good for EHA's future. But the team pulled together and became a strong unit. From there, the team has grown to boast over 35 competitive members in the 2023/24 season. Whilst we may be a small team in the last 5 years, we have stamped our mark on the University Athletics scene, and we are now one of the strongest all-round teams in the North West. We are constantly growing and evolving as a team and we are so proud of how far we have come.
