Out of School Achievement During the holidays, Bella competed in her first indoor race of the season at Manchester's Sportcity Arena. She achieved an incredible new personal best of 1:45.67 over 600m, knocking a staggering 5 seconds off her previous time from last year! Bella will be back in action next week at the same venue, taking on both the 600m and 200m events. We wish her the best of luck as she continues to shine
