Another great turn out for the 3^rd event at Colchester keeps the team in a strong position. It is very encouraging for the club that out of the 25 athletes that took part 7 of them were appearing for their first time. The steady trend upwards of athletes competing is fantastic and thank you to all that took part.

Thank you also to the parents that came along and all their support officiating the events. Mark Sammons our resident photographer could be released from officiating duties and all events were captured with fantastic pictures of everyone that took part. They are on the website now.

We came away 4^th overall with 3 much larger clubs taking those places in front of us.“Becky continues to break club records” taking the sprint hurdles record for U15G to 12.3.  All those attending for the first time achieved PB’ s to build on at the next event on 8^th Aug at Luton  Andrew and Reece Harris Smith, Charlotte Dew, Chloe Tishler, Katie Saunders, Ben Johnson and our chairman Jon Hull!

Other PB’s are still to be determined, If you haven’t completed a PB sheet please ask for one at training. The extra numbers competing allowed us to double up in most events. This earns us a lot of points where other teams cannot field a B string athlete. Our sprinters mainly made up of those first time competitors were an added bonus, we were able to field 2 relay teams and is an area we will continue to grow as we encourage more athletes from the massive training squad of sprinters to compete.

Training over summer holidays: The club will take a break over the summer holidays after the final event. Dates will be discussed and passed on to you all in due course.

The Final East Anglian event is at Luton so a local event you get a lie in on Sunday as it is only 30 minutes away. Transport will be self drive, we will co-ordinate car sharing as normal for those that require lifts.
