Both the Northern U20& Senior and Midlands Championships have taken place over the past 2 weeks with 12 of our athletes winning medals.

Our senior mens team gave a good all round performance to win their opening match of the British League (Division 1) at Cardiff on Saturday.
Relegated from the Premier League last season, they look set to bounce straight back to the top flight, especially as the team had some top men missing from their winning line up.

At the championships in Leigh this weekend in the under 15 age group Joe Lancaster had an impressive win in the 400 metrers (52.77) and narrowly missed a double when he was beaten into second place in the 800m (2:06.54). Adam Khan was 3rd in the U17 men triple jump in 13.33m. In the U17 Women's age group Kelly Clark was 2nd in the 80 metre hurdles in 11.78, and in the U15 Girls pole vault Vicky Price was 2nd with a vault of 2.45m.

Luke Cutts cleared 5.45m to win the pole vault in a new championship record, a fine effort in very windy conditions. Jamie Williamson had a disappointing discus competition but did well in the shot, finishing fourth with 17.35m. Yorkshire champion Matthew Quine was fourth in the 400 metres in 49.84 and Sam Ellis won the men's 800m final in 1:52:86.

Tesni Ward, competing for Nottinghamshire, set a new PB and club record in finishing 3rd in the women's javelin with a throw of 48.49m.
