Havering Mayesbrook U17 athletics team won a hatful of medals on the first day of the Essex Championships at Southend today.   

In the girls U15's Megan Foley was outstanding in winning the Gold medal in the 1500metres along way ahead of the rest of the field.  There were five other girls who made this final.  Katie Richardson (5th), Charlotte Watkins, Vicky Smith, Robyn Matson and Lauren Clark.  

In the 200m final Cherelle Westlake won silver with Christina Kalejaiye a close 4th.  Louise Yard won gold in the discus with Lauren Clark winning Bronze.  Lisa Schofield was a good fourth in the Pentathlon with three new P.B's (and equalling one).
