Well done to Alex Blackham who won the popular 7 Pools Run race in Sutton Park on Sunday. Other strong performances from RSC athletes included 2nd place for Kate McBrien and 3rd place for Andrea Deathridge. Well done to all the RSC athletes who took part.
There is no jumps, hurdles and sprints tonight at the Alexander Stadium so we are all fresh for tomorrow’s final Sportshall of the year. Next week, provided it isn’t snowing, we will be back outside at Wyndley. 5.30 – 7pm.
Shaun Evans provided the highlight at the English Schools XC Championships last weekend at Wollaton Park. He produced possibly his best performance of the season to finish in 13th place. Well done Shaun! For the girls the top performance came from Georgia Curry who was 32nd.
It was great also to see a strong club representation in the Senior Boys race, with Alex Jones, Euan Cox and Alex Blackham joining Shaun in the West Midlands team and Jerome Austin turning out for Staffordshire. It will be great to add a few new faces to our senior team next year. Well done to everyone who took part.
There were some great individual and team results at the National XC Champs at Donnington Park on Saturday. In particular well done to Georgia Curry, Shaun Evans, Mel Woodward, Ellen Humpherston, Alex Jones and Euan Cox who all recorded top 100 finishes – great performances given the quality of the runners competing. There were also great team performances by our Senior Women, U17 men, U15 girls and U13 girls.The 2nd Midlands Counties Athletics Association open meeting saw some fine runs and PBs galore for the sprint squad. For Tyrique Grant Fagan and James Griffiths, both u 13 boys this was their major indoor competition. In the first round, the boys ran together and came 1st and 2n respectively in heat 2 of the 60 m sprint. Tyrique's time saw him placed in heat 1 of the second round and James in heat 2. Both boys improved on their first round times, achieving 9 seconds and 9.16 respectively. Fantastic runs from both boys and I am sure there is more to come. Cameron Harris (u 17 men 7.82 seconds) and Rachel Iliffe (u 20 women 8.54 seconds) both set new PBs. Kane Howitt (u 23 men) recorded a time of 7.19 seconds, a new PB and Nick Pryce 7.08 seconds in their first 60 m run of the season. A surprise was in store when Cameron and Rachel unexpectedly met Mo Farah making a flying visit to Birmingham. They both managed a signed photograph and Cameron a photo with the man himself. In case you are wondering, it is Cameron in the foreground!
Royal Sutton’s young athletes finished the cross country league season in style winning a fantastic haul of medals at the final match of the season at Perry Park. The U17 women got the club off to a great start with Georgia Curry finishing 3rd in the first race of the day, with the team also finishing 3rd, with Lois West and Grace Stirland completing the scoring. The strong performances across the season meant both Georgia and the team claimed silver medals.
The U11 boys were next up, with the team finishing 2nd on the day with George Hope being the top runner in 6th place. Ben Stewart and Tom Smith both recorded top 20 finishes, whilst Pierce Odwyer and Jacob Thomas completed the scorers. The team was second also for the season and so returned back to Wyndley with team silver.
There were more strong performances by the U17 men, with Alex Jones finishing 6th and the team finishing 3rd on the day. Euan Cox (12th) and Alex Blackham (18th) both ran well and will be useful additions to the senior team next year. Alex Jones was ranked 4th in this age group for the season.
The U11 girls narrowly missed out on a team medal finishing 4th. There were strong individual performances on the day, with Hope Stirland finishing in 3rd position, and great support from Sian Duval, Mante Nausedaite, Amaya Tisdale and Martha Wood to complete the scoring 5. Hope also won the bronze medal for her performances across the season.
For the U15 boys the star performance came from Lewis Duval who finished 10th, with the team finishing in 8th position. There was good support in particular from Ben Horton and Ben White.
The U13 girls also were also in the medals with great teamwork resulting in a 3rd place finish on the day and bronze medals for the season. Ella Semple was the first runner home for the club on Sunday in 18th place, whilst there was great packing from Charlotte Hey, Elsa Buchanan, Lucy Semple and Lucy Corker.
The U13 boys also ran well with Will Cowley the first runner in 44th to bring the team home 8th out of 19 clubs.
The final race featured the U15 girls. Ellen Humpherston gave the top performance finishing 18th with the girls finishing 6th for the season.
Overall the club finished in 4th place for the season out of 21 clubs – well done to all the athletes and coaches!!!
