National Young Athletes’ League, Walthamstow 2nd June 2002

The under 17 boy’s team travelled to Walthamstow Stadium for the third National Young Athletes League meeting of the season.  Again it was an all too familiar story this season with so few boys in the older age group available to compete, and this yet again affected the team's chances of improving on their match positions in the previous league meetings.

In what should have been a closely fought contest, but we had to battle throughout the day and in the end had to be content with finishing in fourth position.  Harrow won the match by a huge margin with City of Norwich finishing in 2nd and Belgrave in 3rd.

For the under 13’s, there were wins for Paul Adair (A) in the 1500m, Matthew Watkins (A) in the 800m and Vincent Lazaro (A) in the Long Jump.

For the under 15’s, individual wins came from Aaron Churchouse (B) in the 1500m and Daniel O’Connell (B) in the 100m.

For the under 17’s, Scott Keating (A) and Mark Connelly (B) both won in the High Jump, Joe Golding (A) won in the 800m and Danny Skelt (B) in the 400m.  Both Joe and Danny then combined with Peter Phillips and Rob Howe to achieve an impressive win in the 4 x 400m relay.

Despite the overall match result there were some good individual performances, with some of the boys, although not winners on the day, setting new personal bests.  Christian Newton improved his PB in the Shot by a distance of 1 metre, Anthony Williams also gained a new PB in the same event.  Ross Clarke also proved that he is very versatile over the longer track events, by adding to the new PB’s he set two weeks ago in the 800m and 1500m, with a new PB in the 3000m. 

The final match results are as follows.

 

Final result:

1st Harrow  277 pts
2nd City of Norwich  157 pts
3rd Belgrave Harriers 149 pts
4th Havering Mayesbrook 141 pts
