Results Round Up – June 2019

Shot Put 2nd 8.76m
Discus 2nd 24.32m
Kevin Brown M50
Discus 1st 43.08m – New Championship Best Performance !
David Price M75

Midlands Track and Field League – June 16th
We had some excellent results from our rather small team (we had 27 empty scoring spots) so lets hope for a better turn out for the next meeting at Telford on Saturday the 6th July.
We had 3 of our athletes who are over 55 covering 9 events between them so lets go for it.
We could not see any new club records and just found one equaled PB which was Georgia Delaney in the 400m but that was hardly surprising considering the variable weather.
RSCAC was able to put out all 4 relay teams, and our two mens teams took first places in both relays.
A special thanks to our officials: Jane Fleming, Katie and Chris Jennings, Fiona and Ian Smith, Sherri Smart, Arnie Evans, Maureen Lewington and Sandra McDonald.
Full link to the results will be posted here when available.
We had some athletes competing in other meetings at the weekend.
BMC Events
Shaun Evans ran a splendid PB time of 14.42.69 at the BMC Grand Prix 5000m in Loughborough.
Elsewhere at the Tipton BMC race on Tuesday the 18th, Joseph Martin won the 800m A Race, and smashed his own 800m PB by a whopping 1 sec (in the process breaking his own U17 club record), in a time of 1.55.0.
Some high caliber middle & long distance performances from both athletes.
