Heart of England – Meeting 2
Well done to everyone who competed at Coventry today. The weather didn’t stop us producing many great performances. A special thanks to those who competed in extra events to fill the team sheet. The meeting was abandoned because of the horrific weather before the relays and no final points were read out. So check the Heart of England website tomorrow (Division 1) for full results. Thanks again to everyone for their efforts today.
Midland Masters Athletics Championships
Here’s Johns report from a very successful Midland Masters Track and Field Championships:Hi Everyone, Well done to everyone who competed at the Midland Masters Champs at Nuneaton on Sunday. There were great performances by our athletes with some new club records . The details are:
CLUB RECORDS
- Kevin Brown M50 Discus (1.5Kg) 42.70m and Shot Put (6Kg) 10.99m – In spite of an injured foot Kevin was in fine form taking the gold medal in both events . This was the day after competing for the club in the Discus,Shot and Hammer at Corby in the Senior League meeting where he took first place in the 2Kg Discus
- David Price M75 Javelin 26.93m. In finishing in first place David set a Championship record as well as a club record.
OTHER PERFORMANCES
- Richard Henry M40 100m 1st 12.8 .200m 1st 26.2

Lorna in the Discus, Javelin, Hammer and Shot and Janice in the Long, Triple, Javelin and the 4x100m relay. notably Janice set new club records in the Long and Triple at Corby. Her triple was further than the British record but due to no wind gauge it cannot be ratified.
Well done to you all – Kevin, David, Richard, Donald, Lorna and Janice.
Next Masters/Vets League meeting is Wednesday June 22nd at Tamworth.
All the best. John
Midland Track and Field League – Match 2
Here’s John T’s report from another successful day for the senior team:Hi Everyone, Super performances by everyone gave us second place at the meeting and once again a great team spirit. After the first two meetings we are now in second place in the League. I have had a quick look at the results and have found the following club records and new personal bests.
CLUB RECORDS
- Janice Pryce W55 Triple Jump 9.36 m. This is not only a new club record but is better than the existing BRITISH record of 9.29 set by Teresa Eades in 2014 at the European Masters Champs in 2014. Unfortunately due to the absence of a wind gauge (there was no wind) it cannot be registered as a British record. Janice had the same problem when breaking the W50 British record which she holds. Its great to see her back in action after being injured for a couple of years. Janice also set a new record in the long jump of 4.12m. This beats Maureen Lewingtons record of 3.82 m set in 2005
- Chrissie Prince U20 Hammer 39.11m . This breaks her own record of 38.57m set recently.
- Liam Goodall U20 Hammer 7.26Kg 39.81m. This breaks his own record of 37.87m set recently.
- Megan Evans Triple Jump 10.76m . This equals her Senior record set in 2004.
Well done to Janice, Chrissie, Liam and Megan.
PERSONAL BESTS
- Megan Evans 100m Hurdles 19.1
- Ellen Humperston U17 1500m 5.24.1
- Lorna Foster W50 Hammer 4Kg 22.25m
- Charmaine Riley Nelson W35 200m 27.7 Equals W35 PB
- Lee Hetherington 400m 50.9, 800m 2.00.8
- Tom Chew 3K Schase 10.12.2
- Alex Blackham 3K Schase 10.17.1
- Rob Andrew M50 3000m 10.00.7
- Elliott Walker High Jump 1.70m
- Kane Howitt 200m 22.0 Equals PB
- Ethan Brough 100m 11.6 Equals PB
There were a couple of near misses . Emily Campion (0.6 secs over 3000m) and Nick Pryce (0.1 over 400m club record).
Well done to everyone. Apologies if I have missed anyone. There are some great photos on the Abingdon AC website
A special thanks to our officials – Ruth, Katie, Fiona, Chris, Derek, Ian and Stuart who made sure that we got maximum points awarded. The next meeting is at Abingdon on July 2nd so please put this in your diaries so we can have a great turnout.
All the best . John T
No training tonight (Friday 3rd June)
There is no training at Wyndley tonight because UK Athletics have exclusive use of the track. Friday training will resume next week. Enjoy your evening off!
National Javelin Carnival Success
Jasmine Walker (U15) competed at the National Javelin Carnival
Competition at Loughborough on Sunday, throwing against top-ranked
athletes. She finished 10th out of the 20 athletes, many of whom were in
the top year of the age group. She achieved a throw of 30m 46cm, her
first throw over the magic 30m mark and leap-frogged back to the top of
the WM Pof10 rankings; also moving up to 38th in the UK. This was
valuable experience for her in that she was able to watch how the top
throwers, (including the No1 and No2 UK-ranked athletes Bethany Moule
and Annabel Peach), warmed up and prepared for the event.
Lower YDL Team narrowly squeezed into second place at Tipton
Much to the surprise of everyone present, the Lower YDL athletes were not victorious at Tipton. Despite a number of athletes achieving first and second place, they were pipped to the post by Dudley and Stourbridge who achieved 482 points to RSC 481. All the athletes present, worked really hard to produce in the majority of cases new PBs.
A big well done in particular to those athletes who took part in events that they were not familiar with and in some cases with very little notice – Harriet Martin, Jess Cope, Jack Wakefield, Caitlin Ralph, Zara Buchanan, James Moran and David Iliffe.
Some of our young athletes are doing particularly well in the Power of 10 rankings – Isabel Male, Daniel Olatundun, Elsa Buchanan and Maddie Hammond.
For the future, an analysis of the results from Tipton, shows that the Dudley and Stourbridge team fielded athletes in a larger number of events which enabled them to accumulate more points.
The good news is that after two of four competitions, RSC are joint first with Bicester on 13 points; DASH (Dudley and Stourbridge) and Tamworth are joint third with 11 points. However, the next two competitions are hosted by DASH and Tamworth, so it will need a big turn out for RSC to maintain first place.
Let’s go for it Royal Sutton!
