Havering Mayesbrook’s young athletes got their season off to a flying start as the combined boys’ and girls’ notched up a victory in the opening Eastern Young Athletes fixture at Luton on Sunday.  With victories in  five of the six age categories Havering Mayesbrook won by over 50 points from hosts Luton.

With some of the established names resting ahead of Monday’s Essex championships event it was an opportunity for some newcomers to catch the eye of team managers Sue Deane and Colin McVicar.

There was a strong showing for the u13 boys who claimed seven individual wins and the relay first place. There were double victories from Jack Richardson (400m and long jump A – both PBs), James McAusland (800m B and long jump B) and Harrison Ellis (high jump and 200m, plus a shot PB). Michael Isted took high jump B honours, as did Steve Payne in the B 400m.

The u13 girls won ten individual events and the relays. Lilla Jacks made it a sprint double, and her B string partners Rebecca Clements (100m) and Alexandra Edwards (200m) made it a clean sweep.  Clements also took the B long jump spoils.  Jessica Humphreys set two PBs on the way to discus and shot wins, with Samantha Hill taking the B discus event and newcomers Laura Bunton and Chloe Jackson took both strings of the 1500m.

The u15 girls were in dominant form with eight wins. Frankie Calder se a new PB in winning the 100m and also on the longer sprint and Charlotte Humphreys was an impressive 800m winner, smashing her PB.  Lauren Newton and Elizabeth James made it a discus double, while Nicola Hill’s high jump PB was also best on the day. Catrina McAuliffe was a B string hurdles winner and also set a shot PB. Claire Robinson’s 1500m was good enough only for fourth in a good race, while behind her Jade Edwards was first B string home.

Bone Buwembo’s javelin win capped a good performance by the u15 boys.  His winning effort bettered the 44m qualifying distance for the English Schools Championships, with promise of more to come from this raw beginner. Gary Tonks took a B sprint double but Eugene Ayanful’s A string PBs only placed second in both sprints.  The McLachlan brothers both tasted glory, with older sibling Chris winning B 1500m and Steve setting a new 800m PB winning the B event, as Matt Bloy again lowered his own best in the A race.  Bloy also won the B shot.  Bradley Reece set discus and javelin PBs, while other wins came from Uzoma Nnajuiba (hurdles), Ben Warden B discus and Nat Senior the B long jump.

For the u17 girls Lauren Clark was in good form with a wining 800m PB and B discus win, and Louise Yard improved her shot best to win, also taking discus A honours.  Emma Christmas added 3m to her javelin best in winning to go 2nd on the all-time list, and also won 100m B. Lauren McVicar won the B javelin and B long jump, Chloe van Wulven doubled up with hurdles and high jump wins, and Lisa Schofield won the B hurdles.

The u17 boys lacked numbers but set some good marks in a good team performance. Chris Newton won the discus and Harry Tyler the javelin, and Alex Van Ristell won a B string double in the same events.  Another double came from Michael Waller and Luchien Anderson in the 400m, while Michael Jones tackled the 100m hurdles for the first time placing 2nd.
