Busy Weekend with Euro Under 23
Champs, English Schools and Southern League
The club
had two representatives at the Euro Under 23 Champs in Gavle, Sweden, both
appearing for GB&NI. Divine Oladipo threw a seasons best of 16.79m for 4th
in the shot and Will Fuller clocked 14.32.86 for 15th in the
5,000m having entered the competition as 10th ranked in Europe.
Both athletes can be proud of their achievements.
Meanwhile
many of our junior athletes were trying to emulate Divine and Will by
competing at the annual England Schools Champs at Birmingham. With over 30
athletes representing their various counties we ended up with 4 golds, 5
silvers and overall 26 top ten finishes across three age groups for both men
and women.
Pride of
place goes to Alex O’Callaghan-Brown who won the senior boys 400m hurdles,
higher claim athlete Theo Adesina won a tight long jump with Ben Sutton 4th
and Myles Xavier 6th, Lauren Farley threw a new pb to win the
senior girls javelin and Nana Gyudu won the inter girls shot. Nana along
with silver medalists in the inter boys events Jeriel Quainoo, Oliver Bright
and Oliver Briars will go on to represent England Schools later in the
season.

BBHAC
hosted the 4th round of the Southern League at Norman Park and
competing against other mid tables teams returned to winning ways with 210
points from TVH, Woking and Norwich, giving us a 4th place
position going into the last match.
The men
won both legs of the 100m, 200m, 400m, 1500m and 3000m, both relays and the
discus, had Blair Wilson compete on the high jump, long jump, javelin and
shot, and surprisingly were unable to field any high hurdlers. The ladies
won the 100m A string, both 400m races, both 5,000m races with youngsters
Jane Bradshaw and Jenny Leng showing even younger athletes the way home, the
400m hurdles and discus and the 4x100 relay.
Most
notable performances were from Dele Aledese in the discus with 43.76m,
Matthew Knight 22.16 in the 200m, Shamar Thomas Campbell 10.93 in the 100m
and Josh Schofield the 3000m in 8.39.10 having also won the 1500m with a sub
60 second last lap. In the ladies events strong efforts from Krystal Galley
with a seasons best 55.83 in the 400m, Alex Hill wining the 400m hurdles in
61.83, Carys Marsden returning to action and winning the discus with 35.87m
and Tianna Haynes winning the 100m in 12.25.

Diamond League for Dina and Premier League for Men
and Women
IAAF Diamond League in Lausanne 5 July - Dina Asher-Smith ran the second
quickest 100m of her career to date, posting a time of 10.91 (+0.2). (Her
national record stands at 10.85, set in Berlin last). The two-time Olympic
champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce showed her class, speeding her way to
victory in a rapid 10.74.
The senior women’s team were in action at Eton in
match two of three in the UK WAL and despite some outstanding individual
performances the team could only finish 7th after finishing a great 3rd in
the field events. With no relay teams and with some track events either with
no athletes or only one instead of two, we were well beaten on the track.
There were many regular athletes missing from the team for various reasons
and at this highest level we need everybody participating if we are to
maintain our league status.
In the high hurdles Marcia Sey ran a fantastic 13.65
for 4th place and Annie Davies won the B string in 13.89, while Niamh
Bridson Hubbard clocked 10.01.52 in the 3000m for 6th and now heads the club
rankings. In the field events there was much better news with Gemma Vickery
throwing 53.66m and Molly Walsh 52.26m for 5th and 2nd respectively in the
hammer, while Sarah Abrams was our sole winner taking the long jump with
6.07m, Sarah also took 2nd in the B string triple jump while Zara Asante
leapt to 12.91m for 2nd in the A string event. Deborah Martin high jumped a
useful 1.75m for 4th with Danielle Hopkins taking 2nd in the B string with
1.65m. It was great to also see Divine Oladipo back in club action and a
useful 50.65m in the discus for 2nd and 16.46m also for 2nd in the shot
secured very useful team points. All to play for in the final match but we
will need to be at full strength to stave off relegation. We have done this
before and can do it again.
The men’s team faced a long treck to Sheffield where
they came up against some very strong teams including the host team for the
third round of the BAL. There were many international athletes on display. A
solid 7th place with 219 points was about what was expected and
unfortunately relegation after one season looks ominous as we currently sit
in 8th place on 5 points, one point behind Cardiff but six behind 6th place
team Woodford. Birchfield look favourites to win the league again as the
final match is at their stadium next month.
There was an outstanding win in the 800m for Angus
Harrington, and also in the 1500m for Will Fuller, while the ever reliable
Ethan Brown was beaten into third place by two experienced senior
internationals in the 400m despite clocking a great 47.01, Dan Putnam won
the B string 400m in a seasons best of 47.26 and retains his lead as the top
points scorer. Jonathan Ilori was narrowly beaten into 2nd place in the
triple jump missing out 16.02m to 15.94m, also bagging useful points with
2nd place in the B string long jump with teenager Ben Sutton jumping 6.79m
for 5th in the A string. Kelechi Aguocha continues his consistent form in
the high jump clearing 2.05m for 2nd in the A string.
Ross Braden clocked 31.05.34 for a massive new track
pb in the Highgate extravaganza of 10k PBs.

Young Athletes Upper Ages in action at YDL and Dina
runs in US Diamond League
The under 20s and 17s men’s and women’s team were back
in action for the third round of the YDL at the Allianz arena. A fantastic
team effort saw the club win the fixture by a huge margin with 811.5 points
with Shaftesbury a distant 2nd on 713 and Windsor third on 575.5, so barring
a disaster at match 4 we should be at the YDL year-end final again.
In the men’s under 20 events there was a good win for
national 400m champion Ethan Brown who won in 21.98 over the 200m, and
Oliver Bright won the 1500m in 4.03.50 following his new 800m pb the
previous day, Josh Watson won the high hurdles in 14.74 and Ben Sutton won
the long jump with 6.96m. Kelechi Aguocha continued his fine form winning
the high jump with 2.00m and Pedro Gleadall took the pole vault with 4.50m.
In the throws Angus Harrington won the javelin with 42.17 and Nathan
Bushnell won the discus with 45.55m and the team won both relays.
Some fine performances in the under 17 mens saw Jeriel
Quainoo win both the 100m and 200m in 10.91/21.75 and Ollie Briars won the
400m in 50.27, while in the field Barnaby Corry took the pole vault with
4.20m, Dillon Claydon won the discus with 43.99m and Nathan Bushnell won the
hammer with 50.17m with the team winning both relays.
In the under 20 ladies’ events there was a fine win
for Mallory Cluley in the 100m hurdles in 14.12, and Funminiyi Olajide won
the long jump with 5.66m, Lois Warden won the pole vault with 3.30m and
Lauren Farley won the javelin with 42.70m. In the under 17 ladies match
Ailbhe Barnes won the 1500m steeplechase in 5.15.13, Nana Gyedu won the shot
with 14.90m by a huge margin and the team won the 4 x 300m relay.
Dina Asher-Smith made the long trip to the US for the
Diamond League in Eugene, Oregon and competed in the 200m finishing well for
3rd place in a high quality field in 22.42, a little down on her performance
earlier in the season but still many weeks to prepare for the Doha world
champs.
On Saturday there was the BMC Grand Prix at Watford
with many fine races taking place. Alex Botterill clocked 1.48.74 over 800m,
and in other races there were fantastic new pbs for Angus Harrington
1.50.40, Joe Rogers 1.53.46, Oliver Bright 1.52.99, while Declan Neary ran a
pb of 8.15.10 in the 3000m and Lewis Mills ran 9.03.18. Katy Ann McDonald
recently back from her first year at college in the US clocked a useful
2.05.47 over 800m.
