Laura Whittle had a storming last 400m to finish 6th at the Commonwealth Games 5K race in Glasgow, and be 2nd home for the home nations.
Running a fast but sensibly paced race for most of the race, Laura overtook all the runners immediately ahead of her in the last 800m, and ran her second ever fastest 5k in less than ideal conditions.
No doubt that the crowd in Hampden Park cheered Laura on for what was an amazing finish !
Well done Laura we are all proud of you !
Results here.
Better late than never, a few results to catch up on. The YDL results for the lower and upper age group meetings are now available on the PoT.
There were some particularly strong performances for the throwers. At the U13/U15 meeting Regan Keating set a new club record of 8.57 metres in the under 13 shot, which takes her to number 4 in the West Midlands rankings. She came 2nd in the ‘A’ competition – Not bad after 6 weeks training and in her first competition!
4 brave runners battled through the monsoon on Saturday morning in the latest RSC Grand Prix event at Kingsbury Parkrun. Paul Davey was first home in 17.41 to take the top points. The other runners were Russell Simpson (17.55), Dean England (18.56) and Matt Powell (20.16). Updated results tables to follow shortly….
Laura Whittle showed she’s in great form ahead of the Commonwealth Games with a fantastic run at the prestigious Spitzen Leichathletik meeting in Lucerne, Switzerland. She set a new Club record of 15.20.92 in taking second place in the 5000m. This improved her previous best time by over six seconds set back in 2008 and puts Laura in 4th place on the 2014 British rankings. Well done Laura and all the best for the Games!

Congratulations to the under 17 and under 20 teams who stormed to victory at Nuneaton earlier today in the ydl. There were too many successes to mention individuals – with pbs coming think and fast. Check out the Facebook page for pictures and look in this week’s observer for the full write up. Well done team rscac!
Well done to our under 13 and under 15 mixed relay teams who represented the club in style earlier as they opened the event. The under 13s were 3rd and the under 15 we think were 4th – it was very close! The teams are in action again in an agility challenge at two. Pop down to the alexander stadium to see them in action if you can x
