We have a brand new exciting club event for this year involving athletes from the junior and adult sections. We have hired the athletics track at Stantonbury, Milton Keynes exclusively for LBAC from 12 – 3 pm on Sunday 15th July. This will be our version of the Olympics, the LBAC Games. We will be running a range of fun team and timed events with prizes available. Events are: Shot put(SP), Long Jump(LJ), 100m, and Javelin for all. (U13 and above). Under 11’s will compete at 600, LJ, SP and 100. U17/U15 can also join in with the 3000 or 5000 meters that the adults will be partaking in as well as these other events. There will be mixed team relays to finish the day.
Beccy Takes Two
Leighton Buzzard AC had three representatives at the county schools athletics championships at Bedford this week with Billy Mead, Brian Foulger and Beccy davies all being selected to represent South Beds against, Luton, Mid Beds and North Beds. It is a pretty high standard of competition with both Luton AC and Bedford & County having strong track and field pedigree.
Brian was running in the junior boys 1500 where he ran a PB of 4.48 to take 3rd place and also did the 80m Hurdles in a time of 14.2, which also represented a PB. Billy meanwhile was competing a year young in the inter boys 400m, 800m and 4 x 100m relay. Suffice to say he was not delighted with any of his performances but at least can come back next year and try again.
