Laura Whittle and Katie Ingle both had fantastic runs at the Loughborough International meeting on Sunday. Laura ran a great time of 9.04 to win the 3000m by a 14 second margin. Katie, who was representing the GB and Northern Ireland juniors ran a time of 10.24 to finish 4th in the 3000m steeplechase.
Well done to Russell Simpson who recorded his first ever race victory at the Hill West 10k in Sutton Park yesterday. There was also a great run by Colin McAuley who finished in 2nd place. The results were particularly impressive given that both athletes had already raced on the Saturday at the BMAF relays – Great running guys!
We had five teams competing at the BMAF road relays in Sutton Park on Saturday. The highlight was provided by the M45 team of Simon Corker, Rob Andrew, Colin McAuley and Steve Marklew who finished in a superb 10th place.
There were great efforts by all the teams – The W45 team were 16th, the M35 team finished 25th, the M45 B team were 32nd and the M55 team were 28th. Well done everyone who took part!
Photos by Bryan Dale (including the one shown) are available on his Racephotos website. The results are available here.
Great news – a photo of Royal Sutton’s veteran athlete Jhalman Singh has been selected to be used to publicise this summer’s Commonwealth Games. Jhalman most recently won bronze medals in the 2013 BMAF Championships in the shot putt and long jump.
The photo, which was taken by Alex Rotas www.alexrotasphotography.com will be appearing in Glasgow during the Games.
Thirteen runners were up and out early last Saturday morning for the first event in the Royal Sutton Grand Prix at Kingsbury Parkrun. Royal Sutton athletes took the top four places. Well done Ollie Harradence, Fred Tremblay, Paul Davey and Steve Marklew! The 1st women home for club was Vici Richardson in a PB of 22.48. A link to the results is available here.
The ‘creme de la creme’ of RSCAC middle and long distance running will be competing against each other (for once) in the Kingsbury parkrun on Saturday at 9am.
This parkrun event is part of the Royal Sutton Grand Prix races, where final results are age-graded. Further details of the Grand Prix can be found here.
Kingsbury Parkrun, held in the Kinsgbury Water Park, is a fast and somewhat twisty course, which can be muddy in some parts.
Good luck to everyone for this early-rise 5k blast.
