Our senior athletes had a promising start to the season in the first Midland Athletics League match at Corby on Sunday. The standout performance came from Charlotte Newman who ran superbly to win the 400m A race and the 200m B race. There were also commanding victories for Fred Tremblay in the 800m and Katie Ingle in 1500m.

Joella Spencer, Kane Howett and Nicholas Mbewe all ran superbly in the sprints. Joella was 2nd in the 100m A race, whilst Kane Howitt and Nicholas Mbewe recorded lots of points in the 100m, 200m and long jump.

In the distance events Nick Corker and Tom Chew finished 2nd in the 2000m steeplechase A and B races respectively. There were also strong runs by Stu McCaw (400m), Paul Thompson (800m), Ollie Harradence (5000m) and Steve Marklew (5000m).

In the field there were 2nd place finishes for Megan Evans (triple jump), Rachel Iliffe (high jump), Kevin Brown and Connor Notley (men’s discus) and Chrissie Prince (women’s discus). Elsewhere Fiona Smith scored lots of points in various field events.

The results are available on the Power of Ten website.

The next match takes place at Tipton on 7 June. Put the date in your diary now!

We had a good turnout by the men at the 1st Veterans athletics fixture at Telford on Wednesday evening. Richard Henry had a great run in the 100m, whilst Donald Brown and Graham Felton put in good performances in the sprints and throws. Donald enjoyed his M50 100m sprint so much that he followed it up 5 minutes later by running the M40 race as a guest.

The middle distance runners were also out in force with Paul Thompson, Carl Dunne, Richard Lewis, Steve Marklew, Roy Humpherson and Nick Corker all stretching their legs.  Paul Thompson had a particular strong run in the 1500m, whilst Roy must have been knackered after completing the 2000m walk and the 1500m. Great stuff Roy! Thanks also to Phil Pollock for taking on Team Manager duties for the evening.

The provisional results are available below and the full results including the times run for guests will be available soon.
