News from South London Harriers
June 19th, 2009: Press Release: Mens and Y/A T and F League Matches
Posted by Brian and Viv at 5:53 amSouth London Harriers track and field athletes of all ages were out in force last Saturday at several locations.
At the Southern Men’s League Match 2 at Croydon Arena South London Harriers were dominant in the jumps, and competitive in the sprints, but lacked a few key team members causing the club to needlessly drop valuable points. Despite some good individual SLH performances, Crawley proved too strong, winning 107 points. SLH had to settle for second place with 91 points followed by Holland Sports 3rd with 73 and East Grinstead 4th with 71.
South London’s notable successes were Billy Porter 1st in the 100m and 2nd in 200m; Will Parry’s 1st in both the 400m and the 400m Hurdles, Ben McDaniel’s 2nd in the 800m, Tom Hart’s 2nd in the 1500m, Daniels Sellman’s 2nd in the 5000m, Paul Mitchell’s 1st in the Steeplechase, team 2nd in both the 4 x100m and 4 x 400m Relays, Darren Brown’s 1st in the Long Jump and 2nd in the High Jump, Stephen Babalola’s 1st in the Triple Jump, and Peter Wickens’ 2nd in both the Hammer and the Javelin.
At Epsom’s track, SLH’s Pippa Major won the gold medal and championship title for her victory in the 5,000m race at the Surrey Women’s Veterans Track Championship.
A large number of the club’s youngsters travelled to Chelmsford to compete in the National Young Athletes League Match 2. This high turn out provided the full range and depth of SLH’s talent and they benefited with an emphatic team victory. Successes came thick and fast during the afternoon’s competition and from an impressive list of personal and team achievements the most notable were those who, not content with a single victory, went on for a second win of the day: Creston Harrison, Finn Nightingale, Reshae McPherson, Shanice Harrison, Josh Street, Tom Bullen, James MacDonald, Kalise Powell, Iyani Obi-Adewole, Chioma Obi-Adewole, Afam Obi-Adwole and Nkongni Nukajam.
