Joanne Eccles and Ross Foreman reign at British vaulting champs
Joanne Eccles and Ross Foreman retained their individual titles at the British Vaulting Championships 2011 at Bishop Burton College, Yorkshire (22-23 October).

The individual 14-18 years class again saw close results with Ellie Cundy finally claiming the female title ahead of Paige Brown and Stacey McPherson in third place.
In the mains Andrew McLachlan who is unbeaten this year claimed the title with George Cox second.
The under-14 titles went to Rebecca Kinghorn from the Reviers group and Atoll Pettinger from the Kinross group.
