rdf:langString ″These athletes, who were highly valued members of our club, played a huge role in the recent success of AFD, including last weekend's National Cross Country Relays where the club took five out of the ten titles awarded. The club is absolutely devastated to lose such amazing, talented young female athletes. Our thoughts and prayers are with the two families who are being supported by the police family liaison team. Additionally, the club are very aware that many athletes, parents and coaches have been greatly affected by this incident which we are currently arranging support for them and their families. As a club, we are humbled by the many messages of support that have been received from across the World which further demonstrates the wealth of feeling and respect for these two young ladies within the athletics community. The club would like to thank fellow athletes, Hart Football Club and many bystanders who were backed by professional support from the Military Police, the Surrey, Sussex and Kent Air Ambulance, South East Coast Ambulance Service and Hampshire Police for their extraordinary attention at the time of the incident″.
