Sprint results from a successful county championships for the club! Apologies if I’ve missed anything, there were a lot of things to note down!
– Imogen Jones became a triple gold medalist, winning the U11 girls 75m, 150m, and 600m, gaining PBs in the first two and becoming the fastest U11 girl in the country with her time – truly exceptional!
– Farrah Cook continued her excellent season with a gold medal and new PB in the 100m and a silver medal and equalled PB in the 200m, showing that hard work and long term commitment always pays off in the end.
– David Seidu picked up two silver medals over the weekend, in the 100m where he equalled his PB and the 200m where he broke his PB and dipped under the 25 second mark for the first time.
– Ravenn Cook had a tough race in the 100m but came through on day two to win her 300m hurdles, becoming county champion in the process and breaking her PB 💪🏻
– Sam Jacques began his time in the U17s well with a 4th place in an extremely fast 100m race and the gold medal in the 200m. With further training and development he will no doubt continue to achieve highly.
– Isobel Orencas became county champion over 300m in a fantastic race while also showing her class in the 200m where she qualified for the final.
– Euan Jones had an excellent first competitive run in the U20 men’s division, winning the bronze medal in the 100m in a strong field and running a technically excellent race.
– Maddy Torbitt finished her 300m incredibly strong, pipping her opposition at the line to win the bronze medal and perfectly modelling how to finish a 300m.
– Kiyomi Topham began her time in the U15 division well, making both the finals of the 100m and 200m against some seriously strong opposition. Coming close to her PB, especially in the 100m, she must now use the older girls to push her on to further success.
– Lola Evans took over a second off her 200m which was a fantastic achievement in her first race in the U15s and a testament to her excellent work in training.
– Finley Venables ran a new PB in the 100m, breaking his previous one by nearly half a second and qualifying for the U15 boys final.
– Lucy Hurst competed in a variety of events, winning a silver medal in the hurdles, running strong in the 200m and making the U13 girls 100m final showing her great versatility in what must have been an exhausting weekend for her!
– Jamie Hurst gained a silver medal in the U17 200m final, running a strong race and showing the results of his sprint training on Mondays.
– Daisy Norton ran her first competitive 100m, gaining a new PB against some tough opposition and valuable experience in her first year in the U13s.
– Jack Markham gained a silver medal in the senior men’s 200m, running close to his PB and enjoying his best ever start to a sprint race. Credit to Jess for the new spikes which made all the difference 👌🏻
– Both Poppy Tott-Buswell and Manasi Dedhia had a challenging weekend in terms of results, but as two of our elite sprinters will now need to continue the season with a strong, determined mindset to achieve the results everyone knows they are capable of.
Well done to everyone involved over the weekend and great to see our blue shirts all over Saffron Lane
