After an outstanding team performance today, Royal Sutton Coldfield’s Seniors have secured promotion into Division 3 of the Midlands League.

A massive well done to all the athletes who took part as well as to our officials who secured us maximum ‘officials points’.

There were many 1st places, PBs and Season’s Bests today, showing that everyone truly gave their all.  Below is the winning 4 x 400m men’s team of: Shaun Evans, Frederic Tremblay, Kane Howitt and Nicholas Pryce.

We only found out we had secured promotion right at the end, which is why this photo is only of a third of the team!

RACE DETAILS

Well done to all the U13s and U15s who competed at Banbury yesterday in the Lower Age YDL Promotion Final. A 5th place finish is a great result, as due to holidays we only had 2 U15s boys! It was great to see so many PBs at the last lower age group event of the year.

Thank you to all the officials and team managers, as without you this event wouldn’t have gone ahead.

Well done to Maddy Hughes, Isabel Male and Jasmine Walker for representing the West Midlands at English Schools yesterday and today.

Competing against the best in the country, Maddy (hammer) finished 13th and Isabel (200m) finished 4th in the final after storming to a new PB & Club Record in her heat (25.07).

Jasmine (javelin) finished 6th with 39.40m (just 14cm short of her PB). She was about 2m short of a medal as 3rd place was 41.59m. There were 21 starters. The top 9 all threw National or English Schools standards. Jasmine beat some big names, e.g. Peanut Meeking and Annabel Peach, so she did very well indeed.

Well done to all 3 girls – we’re very proud of you.

A massive well done to RSCAC seniors for coming second in today’s league competition. This success was not only due to top three finishes, but also due to athletes doing extra events to gain as many points as possible. A massive well done to everyone, including the officials who missed an important football match to enable the event to take place!

Promition at the end of the season is within reach! So if you’re a RSCAC athlete who is in the Under 17 age group or older, please put Sunday 5th August in your diaries as that’s the last league meeting of the year. Let’s aim for promotion!

Here are some of our young athletes enjoying themselves at the British Champs today. Huge thanks British Athletics for the tickets.

Tomorrow, we have another group of young athletes enjoying the British Champs, while also cheering on two of our own! Good luck Kane and Katie.

It’s not only Kane & Katie competing for RSC tomorrow, as our Under 17s & Under 20s are competing in Stoke. Good luck!

RSCAC athletes Katie Ingle & Kane Howitt will be competing against the best in Britain at the Muller British Champs at the Alexander Stadium on Sunday.

Kane has the 200m at 13:50. If he makes the final that is the last event of the day at 16:50.

Katie is in the 3k steeplechase at the very precise start time of 14:44.

We wish Katie and Kane the best of luck.

Anyone going to watch, please look out for our royal blue vest and cheer very loudly!

The event will be televised on BBC 2, 1pm – 5pm on Sunday.

Well done to Madeline Hughes, Isabel Male and Jasmine Walker, who have been selected to represent West Mids at the English Schools Champs on 13th/14th July.
