We’ve now compiled the final results for the 2014 Royal Sutton Grand Prix. Well done to Steve Marklew who was a convincing winner with six victories in the nine race series. 2nd place was won by Russell Simpson, with the ever improving Matt Stenson finishing in a close 3rd. Notable mentions also to Dean England and Matt Powell who finished in 4th and 5th place.

GRAND PRIX – FINAL STANDINGS 2014

 

The induction group for 7-9 year olds starts back on Thursday 18 September (5-6pm). Meet at the clubhouse at Wyndley.

 

Thank you to everyone who supported us either in the LA5 or the Fun Run on Sunday. We hope you enjoyed it. A pleasant morning for running and a new Ladies Course Record of 28 minutes 26 seconds set by Danielle Hodgkinson from Birchfield Harriers.

WELL DONE DANIELLE !!!

We would like to apologise for the problems we encountered with the timings and our computer system. This resulted in winners not being able to collect their prize on the day. This mainly affected the ladies – sorry ladies! We will make sure all the remaining prizes are passed on to the respective winners. Provisional results are available below. Please email us at rscac@hotmail.co.uk if you wish to query any of the results.

Also a very big thank you to all who volunteered their services on the day when we knew that we would be short of at least eight marshals. Without your help our job would have been much more difficult.

Many thanks

The LA5 Committee

Laura Whittle is not the only Royal Sutton athlete on show at the Commonwealth games. Check out this picture of veteran athlete Jhalman Singh (taken by Alex Rotas) which is being displayed outside the Scotstoun Stadium on Dane’s Drive.

There was a great article about Katie Ingle in the “Young Athlete” section of last weeks Athletics Weekly. If you missed it there is a copy pinned up in the clubhouse (in Ian and Margaret’s Training area).

Katie was in action in the 1500m steeplechase at a BMC event in Milton Keynes on Saturday. She ran a new PB and club record of 4.50.89 as she won the race comfortably. Well done Katie!
