Diamond League, Young Athletes Upper Division and
British University Champs
A busy weekend started well with a win for Dina Asher
Smith in the 200m at the Diamond League meeting in Doha, winning in the
worlds leading time of 22.26 by some margin. It might have been a club
one-two but unfortunately Shannon Hylton was disqualified for a false start.
In the YDL Upper Age Group opening match BBHAC at
Reading finished in the rare position of 2nd to Shaftesbury, so all to do if
we are to continue representing GB in the European Club Finals next year. In
the mens under 20 A string events there were wins for Ethan Brown over 200m,
Matthew Knight over 400m, Angus Harrington over 800m, Aaron Enser over
3000m, Alex O’Callaghan Brown over 400m hurdles, Theo Adesina in the long
jump, Kelechi Aguocha in the high jump, Pedro Gleadall in the pole vault and
javelin, Ben Hawkes in the shot and a 70m plus hammer throw, Philip Bartlett
in the discus and a win for the 4 x 400m team.
In the ladies under 20 events A string events Louise
Evans won the 400m, Mallory Cluley the 100m hurdles and Jade Oni the triple
jump, with Hannah MacAulay taking the shot and Lauren Farley winning the
javelin, while in the mens under 17 A string events Ollie Briars won the
400m, Oliver Bright won both the 800m and 1500m, Barnaby Corry won the pole
vault and Dillon Claydon the shot put. Wins were harder to come by in the
under 17 ladies events with wins for Zsiriah Thomas over 100m and 200m,
Olivia Berry won the 1500m steeplechase and Milly Savage the triple jump.
Overall the team also achieved 14 B strong wins across the age groups and
events.
In the British University Champs at Bedford the club
had almost 20 athletes in action which may account for our team scores in
the YDL. Pride of place goes to Alex Botterill who won the mens 800m, and to
Bekah Walton who finally smashed through the 50m barrier winning the javelin
with 53.66m. Annie Davies took a great third in the 100m hurdles, while Mary
Adeniji finished 4th in the triple jump and Joe Fuggle 4th in the 400m
hurdles.
This week the mens senior team are back in the Premier
League with their opening tahc taking place in Swansea on Sunday.

London Marathon and US Collegiate Round-up
Eighteen club members finished the London Marathon at
the weekend in ideal conditions with the first three under 3 hours which is
a fantastic achievement. First home was Alex Gibbins in 2.39.42 followed by
Luca Ercolani in 2.52.52 and Blair Wilson 3rd in 2.59.47. Anita Evenden was
our first lady finisher in 5.03.07.
The younger athletes had their opportunity to
represent their respective boroughs in the mini marathon events across
various age groups where in the under 17 girls Sophie Hoare was 6th, Jessica
Neal 15th, Tola Pearse 16th, while in the under 13 girls race Gaby Martin
was a fantastic 4th and Tallulah Ndikanwu 14th, and in the under 15 girls
race Hannah Clark was 3rd with Lara Mannes 17th.
With many of our junior athletes now studying and
competing at numerous colleges in the US, the season is well under way as
the various conference champs come along in early May and for those lucky
enough and good enough to make the standard the NCAA Champs are in June so
many athletes are coming into top form early in the season. Immanuela Aliu
has clocked two great new pbs in the 100/200m with 11.50 and 23.44 in Tucson
ranking her 2nd currently in the UK senior womens tables, and Katy-Ann
McDonald studying at LSU in Baton Rouge has already clocked 2.06.47 and
4.31.02 for 800/1500m. Louise Evans recorded 55.15 in the 400m in Florida
while Isabella Hilditch ran 13.81 in the 100m hurdles also in Florida for
4th in the UK rankings one place behind Annie Davies who recorded 13.71 in
the UK earlier this month.
In the mens events Joe Ellis and Tom Parker both threw
70.88m and 63.46m respectively in the hammer at different meetings in
Virginia, while is noted that Bailey Stickings recent 400m hurdles comeback
currently leads the UK rankings.
At the BUCS Trials at Loughborough Dan Putnam ran a
21.52 windy 200m plus a good 48.42 400m, and Will Fuller clocked a solid
4.01.37 and 8.29.34 1500/3000m, with Charlie Davis setting a new pb of
8.44.53 in the same 3000m race. Jacob Brown won a good 800m in 1.53.52 and
Bailey Stickings clocked 56.39 in the 400m hurdles.
At the time of writing there are still no results
available from the YDL lower age group event held at the weekend, this is
not unusual and will be reported in due course.

senior BBHAC mens and ladies team won their opening Southern League Division
1 match by a huge margin at Gillingham with a score of 230.5 points from
Medway 203, Crawley 167.5 and Southampton 148.
There
were 12 A string wins for the men and 7 B string wins which included a 48.08

victory on the 200m, in addition to competing on both winning relays. The
men won both A and B strings for all events between 100m and 1500m plus
winning both relays. Awe Korede won the 100m in 10.91, Benjamin Gardiner the
800m in 1.57.11 and Lewis Mills won the 1500m. Bailey Stickings returned to
action winning the 400m hurdles in 53.99, Ethan Kitteridge won the pole
vault with 3.30m, Dele Aledese won the discus with 44.99m and Charlie Short
took the hammer with 36.78m.
The
highlight of the day among the womens events was a league record in the 4 x
400m where the team won by almost 24 seconds and set a new best of 3.40.54.
With a very strong team on duty, Dina Asher Smith ran the first leg in an
unusual distance for her but clocked a fantastic opener 52.60, with Shannon
Hylton, Holly Mpassy and Krystal Galley completing the task of getting the
baton round.
There
were 12 A string wins for the ladies and 7 B string wins but mainly in the
field events where England rugby international Shaunagh Brown won the shot,
discus and hammer A string events, while Molly Savage won the triple jump,
Jennifer Sheasby won the pole vault and Eloise Locke won the javelin. The
club won both the short and long relay events while elsewhere on the track
Krystal Galley won the 400m, Ellie Dolby won the 1500m, Annie Davies won the
100m hurdles and Millie Smith won the 2000m steeplechase by two and a half
minutes.
In
Grenada Adam Gemili continued his early season fine form in winning the 100m
in 10.11 following on from a windy 10.14 set in Florida set a few weeks
earlier.
The
previous week we had many club athletes competing the Paddock Half Marathon
