We wish Isabel Male and the U13 Girls Birmingham Team the best of luck for the National Final in Manchester on 14th April.

Having looked at the latest weather forecast, we have decided to cancel tonight’s training. Windchill factors of minus 15 plus the possibility of heavy snow later would render training as a counter-productive and somewhat hazardous exercise.

Enjoy the evening and stay warm.

Because of forecast bad weather, we have cancelled the 5 – 6 pm Taster Group on Thursday. We will keep you updated on other groups. Keep checking the website for updates.

The track is open tonight for training as usual.

In the Midland Indoor Champs Isabel Male (first year Under 15) continued her sparkling form to take the bronze medal in the Under 15 60m in 8.22 secs. Earlier she had won her heat in 8.22 and her semifinal in 8.17 which is a new PB . The two girls ahead of her are both second year Under 15s. Her 8.17 is getting ever closer to the Club record of 8.11 set by Lois Cresswell back in 1994.

In the same meeting, Gideon Akinkuolie (first year Under 17) recorded 8.11 in his first ever 60m.

Meanwhile Donald Brown (M50) continues his preparations for the European Masters Indoors in Madrid in March by recording times of 7.94 and 7.98 in the 60m in the Loughborough Students AC Open.

John Wilmott sessions have now finished. See you all at the track tonight. 6 – 7.45pm.
