More results from the World Masters
More results from the World Masters this week where Donald Brown has been in action in the 200m and 100 hurdles. In the 200m Donald finished in 7th place in the final with a time of 24.74 (his semi-final time was a season’s best of 24.64). There was a massive field for this event – 10 heats, quarter finals, semi finals and the final (4 rounds in total)!
Donald also competed in the 100m hurdles where he secured the fastest time in the semi finals (the semis were the first time he had run a complete 100m hurdles this year due to injury). Unfortunately it wasn’t good news in the final where after a great start he hit the 4th hurdle hard and crashed out.
With a 5th place finish in the 100m, 7th in the 200m and a fast semi final time in the hurdles it shows Donald is returning to great form. And there may be still more to come in the relays. Well done Donald – we’re all proud of you!
Sportshall success
Last Friday (18th Oct) was the 1st Sporthall event of the year. RSCAC did very well. After the 1st meeting, the Under 11 girls are in 1st place, the Under 11 boys in 3rd, the Under 13 boys in joint 2nd and the Under 13 girls in 5th. The Under 15s do not have team positions. It is all done on individual performance in 3 events. There were some good performances from all.
Check out the results: http://www.birminghamsportshall.com/Calendar.asp
The next Sportshall is Friday Nov 15th, 7.15 pm at Stockland Green Leisure Centre.
WE ARE ESPECIALLY SHORT OF UNDER 15 BOYS (School Year 9 and 10). So if you are a boy in School Year 9 and 10, please email rscac@hotmail.co.uk if you can offer to compete for your club. It is a really fun competition where you do: a running event of about 150m or 300m; shot putt or speed bounce; and standing triple jump or long jump. There are also relays.
