Some great performances at the BMC Regional Races at Birmingham University on Wednesday. Stuart McCaw ran a PB of 2.00 in the 800m – particularly impressive given this is only his second race over the distance since returning after a three year break. Gabrielle Kinney won the 800m women’s A race in 2.13 whilst Elemena Saunders ran a great time of 2.16. The results are available here.
We had five athletes competing at the Midland Masters Track and Field championships and all of them came home with medals. Kevin Brown won gold medals in the M45 Discus and Shot Putt. His Discus throw of 47.99m places him top of the British rankings for his age group. Janice Pryce won gold in the W50 triple jump and silver in the long jump, whilst Donald Brown won gold in the M45 100m and silver in the 200m. David Price won gold in the M70 javelin whilst Jhalman Singh won silver in the M75 shot putt.
A number of our distance runners were in action in various races at the weekend. Andrea Deathridge was 3rd in the Two Castles 10k on Sunday. Simon Corker finished 9th (1st M45) in the Aldridge 10k whilst Colin McAuley and Dave Liddall were 4th and 8th respectively in the 7 Pools Run. Well done all!
The senior athletics team put in a great performance at the second league fixture at Abingdon, finishing in 3rd place. There were fantastic performances by everyone, but in particular by the younger members of the team – Ruth Hayes won the 100m hurdles and 400m hurdles, whilst Luke Flemming won the 200m B race and had two second place finishes in the 100m and 400m. Joella Spencer won the 100m B race, Charlotte Newman was 3rd in the 400m and Madeleine Stearn and Connor Notley won lots of points in the field events.
There were also victories in the A events for Megan Evans (triple jump), Nicholas Pryce (200m), Fred Tremblay (800m) and Nick Corker (3000m steeplechase), whilst in the B events there were victories for Charmaine Riley-Nelson (200m), Stuart McCaw (800m), Vikram Balachandar (1500m) and Russell Simpson (3000m steeplechase).
There was a second place finish for Dave Long in the 3000m and great runs by Kanisha Hector and Marcus Smedley in the 200m and 1500m respectively.
In the field Fiona Smith broke the W50 4kg hammer record with a throw of 21.32m, whilst Lorna Foster had a fantastic debut competing in multiple events and Graham Felton won lots of points in the throws.
Thanks also to all our officials for helping on the day and winning us those crucial extra points.
The next fixture is at Dudley and Stourbridge on Sunday 7 July. Put the date in the diaries.
Laura Whittle had a great run at a BMC Grand Prix event last weekend finishing 3rd place in the 5000m. Her time of 15.39.47 places her in 3rd place in the Power of Ten rankings for 2013. Well done Laura!
Royal Sutton hosts its 1st home fixture of the season this Saturday with the U13s and U15s competing at Wyndley. The action takes place between 11am and 5pm if you want to come along and support.
On Sunday the U17s and U20s will be in action at Tipton, whilst a number of our distance runners will be stretching their legs at the Great Midlands Fun Run.
Good luck to everyone competing.
Well done to everyone who competed yesterday in atrocious conditions in Stoke. Everybody gave outstanding performances in awful weather.
We only had 2 women, but they both took 1st places in their events. Janice Pryce won the W35 Triple Jump with a distance close to her British W50 outdoor record. She also won the W50 long jump (despite the wind blowing away her check marks). Newcomer Lorna Foster, who was competing in her first ever Discus competition, took first place with a throw of 17.74m.
Royal Sutton athletes won lots of medals at the Warwickshire County Championships at the weekend. Nicholas Pryce starred with victories in the senior men’s 100m and 200m. His times of 10.78 and 21.81 were both PB’s and new club records. Other highlights included Elmena Saunders winning the U17 800m in a PB of 2.18, and Luke Flemming winning the U20 400m. Janice Pryce set a new Warwickshire Masters record with her jump of 9.72 in the triple jump.
