National Young Athletes’ Girls' League, Premier Division 5, Norwich 2nd June 2002  

The Girls’ NYAL team were edged out in a three-way fight for second place, in which just three points separated the teams at Norwich on Sunday. The Havering Mayesbrook girls finished fourth (of 8 teams), just one point behind Milton Keynes and three behind hosts Norwich as Bromley Ladies took an early lead in the fight for the two places for the National Finals.

On a day of good competition and high standard performances in all events wins were hard to come by but two U15 girls excelled to notched win doubles.  Chloe Van Wulven, fresh from her bronze medal in the South of England championships, soared to a new PB of 1.51m in winning the high jump, before recovering from a poor start to win her favoured 75m hurdles event.  Lisa Schofield made it a hurdles double, winning the 75m hurdles B race, before spinning the discus out to take B string points in that event also.  She also placed 2nd in the B long jump.

There were just four other wins, two more in the under 15 age group.  Lucy Sargent leapt to long jump success in the A event while Megan Foley gave an impressive display of front running to record a new PB of 2m 15.8 secs in winning the A 800m.

Mel Harrison and Lynsey Clark completed the roll of Havering Mayesbrook victories to make it a discus double in the under 17 age group.

New PBs were recorded by Caroline Smith who lopped almost two seconds off her 300m hurdles time to go to third on the club all time list with 47.7 secs before running well in the 800m and 300m flat.  Sara Luck improved her 300m time to 42.7, for equal fifth in the StatPack. Katie Richardson & Robyn Matson both recorded PBs in the U15 1500m A & B races.

Team manager Trevor Jones remains confident that the girls will be at full strength in order to do enough in the two remaining fixtures – at Enfield on 30 June and Crawley on 21 July – to achieve one of the two qualifying positions for the National finals at Birmingham on 31 August/1 September.

Final result:

1st Bromley Ladies 354 pts
2nd City of Norwich 332 pts
3rd Milton Keynes 330 pts
4th Havering Mayesbrook 329 pts
5th Enfield & Haringey 250 pts
6th Blackheath 249 pts
7th Basildon 205 pts
8th Croydon 189 pts
