Great Midlands Fun Run – 10 June

Well done to all our runners who competed in the Great Midlands Fun Run last Sunday.  Ollie Haradence was denied his second Fun Run victory by a great run from superman – it’s not every day you get beaten by a superhero!  His time of 46.53 was excellent though.  We had another 5 runners in the top 20 – Steve Marklew, Paul Terleski, Simon Corker, Russell Simpson and Colin McAuley.

Our ladies also ran excellently – Andrea Deathridge was the 2nd lady home and Kate McBrien was 3rd.

A number of our junior athletes also ran well.  Kieran Mullis was the 1st junior, Shaun Evans was the 3rd junior and Georgia Curry was the 1st female junior.

For full results and photos of Ollie and Paul see this week’s Observer.

Midland Veterans T&F League – 30 May

A hardy bunch of 5 athletes made the trek to Stoke arriving at almost the same time as the Olympic flame just around the corner.  It must have inspired our athletes as they all put in excellent performances with two new club records being set.
David Price (who had to travel approx 150 miles to get to Stoke) set a new M70 record with the 600grams javelin of 32.09m breaking Tom Wyers distance of 23.17 set in 2004.  Fleur O’Brien (in her first race over this distance for quite a few years) set a W60 record in the 800m of 3.29.4.  Graham Felton won the M60 200m and then dropped down a few age groups to take third places in the M35 shot and the M50 discus.  Sandra McDonald won both her W50 events the 200m and Long Jump.  Maureen Lewington won the W60 javelin and then stepped down several age groups to take third place in the W40 discus.
Well done to all of you.  The next meeting is at Burton on Wednesday 27 June so lets have a big turnout for this meeting.  Results are available here:
