With conditions far better than last weeks U13/15’s match but still not ideal a lot of our athletes showed their winter training has paid off with Ellie Cartwright and Jess Waters taking 1st in the 11m and 200m in the U17 and U20’s respectively, Jess also ran personal bests in both. Isabelle Skelton also came 1st in the U17’s 300m and well as 1st in the B string in the Long Jump.
The men fought just as hard with Cameron Rawson competing in 4 events running 200m and 400m in personal best times and shocking us all by appearing in the Shot Putt(which Cameron has possibly never competed in?) and WINNING… and having a huge 10m throw…
Huge Thank you to Mansfield and Rushcliffe for supporting the team and to all our Athletes, Parents and Officials for their part in the day and travelling all the way to Tipton. The next match is 26th May at a much closer Burton-on-Trent.

U13/15 Youth Development League
Moorways, Derby - 27th April 2019
For the U13/15’s Youth Development League we finished in 7th place.
It was a tough day for all with low temperatures strong gusting winds and rain, but every single one of our athletes gave their all. Ruby Vickers Claimed a new personal best in the Long Jump beating her previous best by almost 70cm. Georgia Dobb also got a new personal best but this time in the 150. knocking over 0.4s off her best.
But the Athlete that stood out the most must have been James Davis in the U15 Boys, not only finishing 1st in his 300m race but also getting personal bests in all three events; 300m, Shot and Long Jump showing his strength across multiple disciplines.
The next match will be Saturday 18th May so please speak to Julie for more information.
