The younger age groups may have already brought their track seasons to a close, but the Seniors were out in action at Telford for their third fixture in the MCAA T&F league in Division 3(NE). Although, almost a week on, the results have not made it onto the internet, I have managed to get hold of a copy thanks to Claudio Albanese.
Psalm Roberts-Nash came a very close 2nd in the 100 A in 11.5, Michael Deans also bagged a runners up spot in the 100 B in 11.7. Psalm also clocked 23.1 for another 2ndplace over 200, with Princewill Oriere also coming 2nd in the 200 B in 23.7. Danny Malone was 3rd in the 200 C in 28.4. Over 400 there was a 3rd place finish for Princewill in the A race with 54.4, Greg Asbury was 4th in 58.7 in the B race and Danny Malone was 1st in the C race with 61.2.
Over 800 Oscar Davies claimed a runners up spot in the A race crossing the line in 2.05.9, Gary Worrall was 2nd in the B race in 2.11.3. Danny Malone had expected to go over the bigger barriers in the 3000 steeplechase but with stagnant water left from a previous meeting in the jump that was cancelled. He was left to go over the flimsier barriers in the 400 hurdles, his attitude being that they were the same height, roughly, but there was just more of them in a shorter distance. He placed 4th in the A race in 72.1 on debut.
Oscar Davies claimed an impressive win in the 1500 A race in 4.17.0, the runner up may have only been a fraction of a second behind, but Oscar was well in control for maximum points. Gary Worrall was 3rd in the B race in 4.38.3. Over 5000 Tom Isherwood placed 4th in the A race in 16.46.3 and Ben Foster was 2nd in the B race in 16.56.9.
In the relays there was a 5th place finish for the club in the 4 x 100 relay in 50.7, and a win in the 4 x 400 in 3.44.4.
In the jumps there was a 4th place finish for Greg Asbury with a leap of 9.99 in the triple jump. And in the throws Tegjot Singh claimed 4th place in the shot with a throw of 8.55 metres, he also bagged 5th in the discuss with 20.55 and another 5th place in the javelin with 32.29. Matt Sutton won the A hammer with a throw of 50.95 and Joe Deans was 4th in the B event with 16.71.
In the ladies side of things La Taunya Samuels was 2nd in the 100 A in 12.30, narrowly beaten by Commonwealth Games medallist Ashleigh Nelson. Lattie claimed a win in the 200 A with 25.7. Zoleka Mzuku was 2nd in the 800 A in 2.23.5, Millie Williams was 2nd in the B race in 2.34.1, and Scarlett Willoughby won the C race in 2.40.1.
Over 1500 Beth Tabor placed 2nd in the A race in 4.57.3 and Luce Tait-Harris won the B race in 5.05.9. Lucie also ran the 5000 A race an hour later placing 3rd in 19.31.9, with Sabrina Thomas placing 2nd in the B race in 20.42.4.
In the throws Louise Webster was 2nd in the A shot with a throw of 9.44, Louise was also 6th in the discuss with 18.98. Amelia Hancock was 2nd in the A hammer with 41.51. Louise won the B hammer with 36.92 and also placed 2nd in the A javelin with 24.09.
There were also some guest performances from Aryan Kaur who ran 2.21.8 over 800, Tom Machin who clocked 40.8 over 200 and Louie Lambeth who ran 4.19.2 with Tom Pryor who was breathing down his neck with 4.19.3 over 1500.
Away from the orange oval there was some action in mid Wales in the annual Race the Train race where runners set off from Tywyn with the aim to run up the valley and back over a 14 mile course before the train makes the same journey. Of the trio competing a couple got back before the train with Jake Brown placing 12th in 1.36.45, Dan Maskew finished in 1.38.21 for 15th place and Ben Pilsbury completed the threesome with 2.02.04 to take 134th.
