The U13s and U15s travelled to Banbury for a YDL fixture on Saturday. There were wins for Ben Horton, Georgia Platt, Maisie Cain, Jasmin Skipp and Jessica Tarr and great performances by everyone else. The results are available here.

Our distance runners were out in force at the Worcester Pitchcroft 10k. In scorching hot conditions Ollie Harradence had a great run to finish 2nd. We had another 6 runners in the top 20 – Dave Long (6th), Paul Terleski (9th), Paul Davey (11th), Russell Simpson (12th), Colin McAuley (14th) and Mark Rickards (17th and a PB). Vici Richardson finished 79th.

A fantastic run by Laura Whittle in the British Championships at the Alexander Stadium. She finished 2nd behind Stephanie Twell in a time of 16.00. Results available here.

Nicholas Pryce was also in action on Friday night. He ran 10.9 in a heat won by Harry Aikines-Aryeetey.

The provisional results are now available for the third Midland Athletics League fixture (click here) and they show that Royal Sutton recorded a win in an incredibly close match.

Everyone competed superbly in blistering hot temperatures. Highlights included Lorna Foster setting a new W50 club record in the shot putt of 8.63m (4kg shot), and Rob Andrew (on his first run for the club) getting into the top 3 in the British rankings with his time of 4.20.9 in the 1500m. Nicholas Pryce was just one tenth of a second off his club records in the 100m and 200m, which shows he is in great form ahead of the UK Trials this weekend.  Also, the women’s 4x100m team of Joella, Charmaine, Fiona and Kanisha came close to the club record which was set over 30 years ago.

Special thanks as always to all our match officials – We really appreciate your time and support!

The result moves us up to third place in the league with the final match to come at home on 10 August. Let’s have a great turnout – absolutely no excuses!

Katie Ingle had another great run today to win the 1500m steeplechase at the English Schools Championships. Her winning time was 4.52.79, which is a PB and new club record. The winning margin was over 10 seconds.

Elmena Saunders was also in action – she ran well to qualify for the 800m final in the inter girls competition in a PB of 2.15.17.

Congratulations to Ollie Haradence and Andrea Deathridge who both won trophies at the Arden 9 mile road race. Ollie was the race winner, whilst Andrea was third home in the women’s race.

Well done to everyone who took part in the Shugborough Relays. We had seven teams competing and everyone ran brilliantly. A big thank you to Roy who did a great job as Team Manager.

The results are available here and there are some great photos on Bryan Dale’s website here.

Connor Notley set a new club record in the discus whilst competing for the West Midlands in the Mason Trophy on Saturday. His throw of 34.07m beat the previous record set by Ronald Comrie in 1997. Elemena Saunders was also competing and she recorded a 2nd place finish in the 800m with a time of 2.18. The results from the event are available here.

We also had athletes competing in a Heart of England fixture at Coventry. The results should appear on the Heart of England website in due course. A link is available here.
