Midland Vets League – 25 June

John Topliss reports:

Please find the provisional results of yesterdays meeting at Burton:

Midland Vets Burton – Men

Midland Vets Burton – Women

Although we had a very small team there were some excellent performances by our athletes resulting in three new club records. They are:
  • Fiona Smith W50 Hammer 3Kg 27.41m . This beats her own record of 17.16m from last year and adds to her recent record with the 4kg Hammer . By the way Fiona still holds the Under 15 100m record set in 1977.(12.9)
  • Donald Brown M50 Shot 6Kg 10.33m . The old record was set by Graham F in 2002 of 9.87m.This means Donald now holds 10 club records two of which were set in 1988. They are the Senior Mens Long Jump and Triple Jump.
  • Graham Felton M65 Discus 2Kg 19m something. Graham competed as a guest in the M35 event and the guest results have not yet been published.He won the M60 100m and so continues his unbeaten sprint wins from last year in the League, which he constantly reminds me about, although he is not as pretty as me..This means Graham still holds nine club records after having lost one to Donald but he is a team member of three relay records.
A special thanks to Ruth Dobbins (timekeeper) and Phil Pollock (Long Jump official) .

Katie Ingle wins at the English Championships

Katie Ingle had a fantastic run to win the U20 3000m steeplechase title at the England Athletics U20/U23 Championships at Bedford. Her time was 10.26.22. With the qualifying time secured a few weeks ago, the victory confirms Katie’s place in the GB team for the World Junior Championships in Oregon.

Margaret Riley provides a summary of an eventful race: “The race was a combined U/20 and U/23 event and Katie covered the leaders from the gun.

Lap two proved eventful as Katie hit the barrier in the home straight and fell heavily. She was back on her feet immediately and chased down the leader. At the next water jump she had another fall but again managed to regain her rhythm and by lap five had taken on the lead. She was overhauled in the final 100m by the leading U/23 athlete but managed to take the U/20 Championship title and qualify for Eugene.

This is the third year in a row she has taken the title – surely a record for any middle distance athlete from RSCAC ?”

Well done Katie!

Nicholas Pryce and Gabrielle Kinney were also competing. Nicholas qualified for the finals of the 200m with a time of 21.71. He finished 5th in the final in 21.75. Gabrielle ran well in the heats of 800m running 2.16.43.

Results and reports are available on England Athletics website

Muninder Singh Hayer wins bronze at EA Senior Disability Champs

Muninder Singh Hayer put in a fantastic performance to win a bronze medal at the England Athletics Senior Disability Championships at the Alexander Stadium last weekend. Competing in the F32 category Muninder finished in 3rd place in the Seated Club Throw with a distance of 11.54m. The event was won by Paralympic medallist Stephen Miller. The result was all the more impressive given that this was Muninder’s second ever competition and given that injury had prevented him from training during the last four weeks. Well done Muninder!
