Well 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.
The full results are available below

Wow! What a run! Laura Whittle smashed her own PB last night to run 15.08 in the 5k at the Payton Jordan Invitational Meeting. The time is an Olympic Games Qualifying Standard. Fantastic running Laura!

Just in time for the start of the athletics season here is the updated list of club records. All new records are marked in green. A number of athletes have already been busy setting new records in 2016 – well done to Elliot Walker (JM triple jump) and Maddie Hammond (U13 600m and 1000m).
