Just in time for the start of the athletics season here is the updated list of club records. All new records are marked in green. A number of athletes have already been busy setting new records in 2016 – well done to Elliot Walker (JM triple jump) and Maddie Hammond (U13 600m and 1000m). We’ve also added a few from the end of last year and earlier. Well done Freya Liddington, Hope Stirland, Jasmine Walker, Donald Brown and Kevin Brown.





There were some great individual and team results at the National XC Champs at Donnington Park on Saturday. In particular well done to Georgia Curry, Shaun Evans, Mel Woodward, Ellen Humpherston, Alex Jones and Euan Cox who all recorded top 100 finishes – great performances given the quality of the runners competing. There were also great team performances by our Senior Women, U17 men, U15 girls and U13 girls.
