Warwickshire County Championships

Screenshot_2016-04-22-22-39-23-1Well done to all our are athletes who competed at the county Champs last weekend. There were some fantastic performances and a great haul of medals. The standout performance during the weekend came from Maddie Hammond who won both the U13 800m and 1500m. The winning time of 2.26.5 in the 800m was a championship record. Maddie also won a silver medal in the 200m proving that distance runners can sprint.

There were also two new club records:

  • Lauren Hammond in the U15 300m with a time of 43.99. She finished in third place in the Final beating the old record of 44.39 set by Jennie Hopkinson last year.
  • Sherri Smart in the Senior Women’s Hammer with a throw of 30.92m. This beats her old record set last year of 30.16m.

2015 Presentations

We are in the planning stage at the moment and knowing that nearer the event a number of the organisers are unavailable, we are looking for someone to work alongside the organisers and committee members.

You could be the one that brings that little bit extra to our Presentation Evening !

Anniversary Waltz Fell Race – 16 April 2016

 

RSCAC is not only present in the Walking, Track and Field, or Cross Country scenes. We also do fell running.

Nick Corker had a great outing at the 2016 Anniversary Waltz fell race in the Lake District last Saturday, which also marked the 20th anniversary for this fell race.

In a field 332 runners strong, with an 11 miles race and more than 1,100m of ascent – or 3,609 foot if you prefer – some of which were so steep that they had to be done on all-fours, Nick finished in an excellent 17th place, and covered the distance in 1:49:22.

If you think that cardiac or sandy hills in Sutton Park are too difficult, and need a tip or two on how to climb or come down a mountain like a proper fell runner, have a word with Nick.
