National Junior League, Southern
Premier Division, Eton 23 June 2002
Club
record for Kirsty as junior ladies
fourth at Eton
The Under 20 ladies team turned
in an excellent team performance to finish fourth in a fiercely contested National
Junior League Premier Division fixture at Eton on Sunday. Hosts Windsor, Slough,
Eton & Hounslow - 4th in the first fixture - came out on top and with
two of the four fixtures gone the HMAC squad lie in second place as the top
four teams all share 13 match points and are only separated by event points.
Solid results in the remaining two fixtures - at Croydon on 28 July & Walthamstow
on 18 August - should secure a place in the National Final at Derby on 8 September.

Triple Jumper Kirsty Smith
goes from strength to strength and in a good quality competition she placed
third, adding six more centimetres to her week-old club U17 triple jump
record with a 10.70m leap. She had earlier bettered her long jump
best with a 4.89 jump, also placing third.
Wins were hard to come
by and HMAC athletes were restricted to just four.
Newcomer Natalie Street (2nd claim member)
made an impressive debut for the team, scorching to 400m victory from
the outside lane in a new PB of 56.6 secs. She also placed second in the
B triple jump and ran in both relays.
Hayley Mottram made it a 400m win double
taking the B event in 59.8 secs, just outside her best. She later stepped
in at short notice to run in the B 200m and was rewarded with a new PB
of 27.4 secs.

Southern 1500m Champion Lauren
Deadman stepped down a distance and was a convincing 800m winner, and then showed
great team spirit to score vital points in the 3000m. Versatile Melissa Felton's
B string discus win capped a busy day for the 19-yrear-old as she set PBs in
the pole vault, shot and javelin. Melissa also ran her first 400m hurdles race
of the season.
Despite the absence of key thrower
Sarah Deacon the throwing events still produced good points. Mel Harrison earned
a shot PB with her 9.89 runners-up effort, and was also second in the hammer
and third in the discus. Nina Brennan returned to action for the first time
this summer after an injury lay off and in her first u20 competition gained
a new hammer PB, placing third, was fourth in the javelin and also gained 400m
hurdles points.
With the 12 strong team at full
stretch every point was vital. Fran Rigby followed up her long jump B string
third with 100m points and a sprint relay leg, Laura Jones ran both sprints,
both in season's bests, and also added a relay leg.
Great team spirit came from middle
distance runners Faye Powell and Ria Lyons. Both helped out to score points
in the high jump before tackling their main events, Faye scoring in the 3000m
B and Ria placing fourth in the 800m B before coming back for 1500m fourth place.
Both relay teams ran well. Kirsty
Smith, Natalie Street, Fran Rigby and Laura Jones took the baton round for third
place in the sprint event before a high quality 4 x 400m events rounded off
the meeting as the foursome of Lauren Deadman (61.8), Ria Lyons (62.3), Hayley
Mottram (61.2) and Natalie Street (58.4) recorded 4m 3.7 secs - the fastest
time for many years by a club u20squad but had to settle for second to a superb
Shaftesbury Barnet foursome.
