Birmingham Games – 2/3 February

Our sprinters showed some great form competing against a star studded field at the Birmingham Games.

Nicholas Pryce had a fantastic weekend improving his club records for both the 60m and 200m.  He ran a time of 7.01 seconds to finish 6th in the men’s semi final of the 60m and 21.90 seconds to finish 4th in the semi final of the 200m against an incredibly strong field.  In his heat he ran against Nigel Levine, whilst in his semi final he ran against Conrad Williams, Luke Lennon Ford and Johan Wissman (a World Indoor silver medalist at 200m and 400m)!

Kane Howitt won his heat in the U17 boys 60m in 7.45 seconds and Megan Evans took 5th place in her heat of the 60m (although she didn’t get to race Christine Ohorugo this year!).  Adam Barnes and Luke Flemming had great runs in the 400m.

The results are available here: Day 1 and Day 2

Hopefully there will be some video action to follow from the Athleticos website.  We’ll put links on the website when available.
