Well done to Elley Criddle who came second in the 4 X 1 lap relay when she represented Birmingham at the sportshall final on Saturday. The team finished third overall. Well done Elley.

Well done to ALL of our under 17 & under 20 athletes who competed yesterday in the first match of the year. There were some fantastic individual performances which collectively resulted in a second place finish for Sutton.  We were only beaten by host club Tamworth on this occasion. Come on….let’s strive for victory next time ! (Next upper age group YDL is 16th May at Banbury. Get it in your diaries pronto!)

Because it is Good Friday, Fiona, Nikki,  Dennis and Meg have decided a night off is in order. So there are no jumps and hurdles tonight. Enjoy your rest ! X

Congratulations to Freya Liddington, Daniel Olatundun & Tyrique Grant who all won gold medals for overall best performances. Freya won both the under 11 girls long jump (2.12m) & 1 lap (12.8.) Daniel won the under 11 boys long jump (2.07). Daniel teamed up with Tyrique to win the 2 X 2 lap.

If you’re lucky enough to have tickets to tomorrow’s Grand Prix at the NIA,  get there at midday so you can see our under 13, under 15 and under 17 relay teams in action. Best of luck to all of our athletes. Go team RSC!

Can any under elevens who want to come to the end of cross country season meal please let Elsa or Zara know on Tuesday or Thursday at training.  The meal will be on 15th February at Pizza Express in Sutton. 4.30 – 6pm.  £11.50.

Would you be able to help the club out at competitions by becoming an official? You would be helping the club out massively because we get points for qualified  officials (we did in fact get promoted this year in the Heart of England League when our officials points were added on!) You could do timekeeping,  field judging (raking a pit, measuring how far a jump/throw is) or track judging (checking athletes stay in lane, checking batons are passed in the right box, making sure everyone runs the right number of laps in distance races &ordering runners as they cross the line).

If you think you can do any of these…can you attend the course on either:

15 March at the Pingles Leisure Centre, Nuneaton or

21 March at Aldersley Leisure Village in Wolverhampton

The club will pay for you to do the course. Please email rscac@hotmail.co.uk if you are able to help out and specify if you would rather be a track judge, field judge or timekeeper.  Or ask for Meg Evans at the club for more info.

Merry Christmas!

Please speak to your coach if you are unsure of Christmas training times (Brian’s group and the Sprints / jumps group times are detailed below) but generally…
