On behalf of the LA5 committee, we would like to offer sincere thanks to all the LA5 sponsors, helpers and marshals for their contribution in making this year’s event so successful.
We have received many messages on Social Media of support from runners (both newcomers to the event as well as our regular attendees) which was very much appreciated.
Thank you to everyone who took part, be that be by: running, organising, sponsoring or helping on the day.
Janice Pryce finished in third place in the W55 Triple Jump at the World Masters, with a Jump of 9.45m. A great performance from Janice, who is at the top end of the age group and only made two legal jumps out of the six.
Rob Andrew has also been in fine form out in Malaga. He qualified for the M55 800m Final and took 7th place in a very close race. His time of 2.11.49 was an M55 PB. Rob made the 1500m final too, where he finished in 8th in a new M55 PB of 4.38.11.
On 8th September, Isabel Male (first year Under 15) took 1st place in the 100m and 200m in the Notts League Inter County Championships, where she was representing Warwickshire. A fitting end to a successful year. Well done Isabel!
