Senior + U17’s
Estelle Dja just back from injury looked good when finishing 3rd in the ‘A’ 100m, but had to pull up in the 200m, we wish her a speedy recovery. Jessica Case, vice captain, set a great example, finishing 3rd in the ‘A’ 400m, ‘A’ 400m hurdles and 2ns in the ‘A’ 100m hurdles.
Sue McDonald also had a good day setting a pb in the 800m 2:30.5 to finish 3rd, also 3rd in the ‘B’ 400m and 2nd in the ‘A’ 1500m with Viv Mitchell 3rd in the ‘B’ 1500m.
Alecia Alli-Ugbaja was 3rd in the 80m hurdles with Hayley Hazelby 2nd in the ‘B’ race. Fredi Cardew-Relf, running her first 100m hurdles race finished in 3rd place.
Juggling events is not enjoyable but Hayley managed 4th place in the high jump 1.30m, javelin 22.72m for 3rd and was second in the ‘B’ triple jump! Well done. Beth Wilkins set a new pb in the triple jump, 9.11m to finish 4th in the ‘A’ string.
Team captain Jill Lula finished 2nd in the ‘A’ hammer and ‘B’ javelin, 3rd in the ‘A’ discus and ‘B’ shot. Jill’s throwing partner Bonita Francis was second in he ‘B’ discus, 3rd in the ‘A’ shot and was 5th in the ‘B’ hammer.
We were so stretched; we did not have sufficient athletes for the 100 AND 400 relays!
A gutsy effort by those who competed.
