Record Breaker!

Many congratulations to Isabel Male, u 13 girl, who broke two sprint records at the Lower YDL competition on Saturday.

Isabel ran the 75 m in 10.5 seconds and the 150 m in 20.6 seconds. Isabel is unbeaten this season in the YDL competition, gaining first place in all her races. She is now ranked  3rd in the Midlands for the 75 m and 3rd for the 150 m.

Both of these records have stood since 1998, which is testament to how speedy Isabel is – and with another 12 months in the u 13 age group.

Well done Issy!

Success for U11s at Heart of England

U11s HoEChrissie P reports on some great performances by our young stars:

The Under 11’s have been out competing at the Heart of England league all season and have all done exceptionally well going out pushing and supporting each other all season doing the club and all the young athletes proud. Every single one of them have broke at least one personal best whilst competing this season and we have even had some club records broken:

  • Charlotte Prince in the 600m who broke the old record by 5 seconds running an exceptional 1.57.5 at the second meeting in Coventry
  • Superstar Harrison North broke the 75m club record in a time of 11.1 and the howler club record by 6 meters with a throw of 25.15 all in his first ever competition for the club!

Well done Alfie, Joshua, Harrison, Jayden, Martha, Alice, Charlotte, Olivia and Evie and all other under 11’s who have competed this season – you’ve all done us all very proud.

Well done to all who competed at yesterday’s Heart of England

Yesterday’s Heart of England at Redditch saw glorious weather and many great performances off Royal Sutton athletes.  With athletes in 4 age groups competing, both male and female, it is too difficult to mention individuals without leaving someone out and I certainly don’t want to leave anyone out because everyone tried their hardest and performed well.  So it’s a big well done to everyone as well as special praise to those who filled in on extra events to cover for last minute cancellations.  The results haven’t been published yet, so keep checking the Heart of England website to see if we manage to stay in Division 1. http://www.hofe-league.org.uk/

20160702_171338Here’s John’s report from our 3rd match of the season at Oxford:
Hi Everyone, The provisional results are now available for the 2nd match of the season. Unfortunately for us we did not do as well as I had hoped and only finished in 6th place – however amazingly we are still in 2nd place overall  the league! The final meeting is at Solihull on Sunday the 7th August where we could win promotion but at the same time we could be relegated so lets get out the strongest team we possibly can and fill every event. The position after 3 meetings is
1st Abingdon 24 (1340)
2nd RSCAC  13 (1133.5)
3rd K and S   13 (1030)

5th Charnwood 11.5(899)
6th Corby      10.5(900.5)
7th Kettering  3(154)
It certainly was a day of mixed fortunes for us with two DQs, no throws and illness affecting our points scored. Once again there were many excellent performances with a super team atmosphere with athletes filling in where possible. The men’s distance duo of Nick Corker and Paul Thompson seemed to be competing all the time with Nick, in his first track meeting of the year competing in the 400m hurdles, 1500m, 2000m SChase, 5000m, triple jump and the javelin.
Conditions were not ideal with a strong blustery wind affecting performances however two new club records were set and four personal bests achieved.
