There were some great performances at the Aldridge 10k. Ollie Harradence followed up his Fun Run win with a 2nd place finish, whilst Steve Marklew won the M50 prize. Steve’s run was particularly impressive given that he ran both the 800m and 3000m for the senior men the previous day!

Richard Henry and David Price were both in action in the Midland Masters Athletics Championships. Richard, who was making his debut as an M40 ran 12.3 in the 100m for a 2nd place and 26.2 for 1st in the 200m. David Price threw 29.46m for 2nd place in the M70 javelin.

Fantastic runs by Katie Ingle and Laura Whittle at the BMC Grand Prix at Sportcity. Katie smashed her PB and club record to run a time of 10.13.99 in the 3000m steeplechase. The time was well inside the qualifying standard for the World Junior Championships and puts her top of the UK rankings. Laura had a strong run to finish 2nd in the 5000m behind Helen Clitheroe in a time 15.36. The time places Laura 6th in the UK rankings.

Well done to everyone who completed the Fun Run yesterday. In particular, congratulations to Ollie Harradence who won the race by a massive margin. Some photos from the event are available on our FLICKR page.

MEN’S RESULTS

WOMEN’S RESULTS

• Joe Caines, now an M60, in his first outing for several years set a new record in the 200m in 27.7 beating my own record set ten years ago of 27.9 when getting the bronze medal in the British Champs. Either the track is short (but thinking about it that is where I set my time) or Joe is not 60. Seriously though well done Joe it was great to see you running again.
• Graham Felton set a new M65 Discus (1.5Kg) record with 23.24m. Well done Graham.

The sprinters were in great form at the Trafford Grand Prix on Tuesday. Nicholas Pryce won both his races, recording 10.93 in the 100m and 21.96 in the 200m. His times were the fastest recorded on the night (out of 12 100m races and 10 200m races). Nick Mbewe ran 11.74 the 100m and 23.49 to win his 200m race. Well done guys!

There was perfect weather and some fantastic results at the Warwickshire County Championships with lots of medal winners and many athletes smashing their PBs.
