Because it is half term, we are having a break from jumps and hurdles tonight. We will be back outside at Wyndley next Friday, 5.30pm – 7pm.  Enjoy your training-free Friday night!

Sutton did amazingly at the first Sportshall of the season.  We had full teams with everyone trying their best.  There were also many 1st and 2nd places for Sutton.  Keep checking this page for the final results: http://www.birminghamsportshall.com/

Well done to everyone who took part.

The annual Presentation Evening is almost here, so we need everyone to vote for their ‘Athletes’ Athlete’.

Voting opens tomorrow night at training. You will have a week to cast your vote, with voting closing at 8.10pm on Tuesday 4th October.  Cast your vote in the clubhouse.

This year’s nominees are:

• Ethan Brough
• Bonita Deathridge
• Jess Dunn
• Cameron Harris
• Lee Hetherington
• Ellen Humpherston
• Rachel Iliffe
• Mante Nausedaite
• Chrissie Prince
• Emily Symes
• Ben White
• Rachel and Caitlin White

This list of nominations has been put together by the coaches.  The ’Athletes’ Athlete’ award is to recognise athletes who are an asset to training groups and to the club itself.  This award is for athletes who always turn up to training and competitions, train hard and try their best in competitions, while also supporting others.  They should be a role model to other athletes and a pleasure to train with.

* Strictly 1 vote per club member.

Well done to all athletes who turned out to compete at Stourport today in the final YDL of the year.  There were a number of PBs and good performances. Well done Team RSC.

Many congratulations to Isabel Male, u 13 girl, who broke two sprint records at the Lower YDL competition on Saturday.

Isabel ran the 75 m in 10.5 seconds and the 150 m in 20.6 seconds. Isabel is unbeaten this season in the YDL competition, gaining first place in all her races. She is now ranked  3rd in the Midlands for the 75 m and 3rd for the 150 m.

Both of these records have stood since 1998, which is testament to how speedy Isabel is – and with another 12 months in the u 13 age group.

Well done Issy!
