Gold for Gabriel

Simon Baker sent this report in: South of England Championships for U13, U15 and U17s was held at Lee Valley over the weekend with 15 young Heathsiders taking part.  As we have come to expect they produced a host of PBs with three club records and outstanding performances including 2 gold medals a silver and Championship Best Performance despite the challenging weather conditions particularly on the Saturday with a stiff headwind.

Gabriel set a new U13B 75mH Championship Best of 11.69s (improvement of 0.36s), and won a gold medal defeating his nemesis Daniel Niewczasinki-Kirkla (WG&EL) in the process. Rory Willis set a new 800m PB.

In the U15 Girls  Maya Wesgate also set a new  800m PB, both Suraya and Tara found the windy difficult to negotiate in their Hurdle races.  Malia set a new club record in the Hammer improving her previous mark by 2.49m.  Elkie however secured the Gold Medal in the Discus setting a new PB of 37.16m with her 2nd throw and a winning margin of over 4m.  In the U15 Boys Dylan (800m) and Mikel (300m) both negotiated their Heats to reach their finals.

Gold for Elkie in U15 Discus

In the U17 Women Issy continued her path back from injury in 1500m with a creditable 7th place and Imani finished 5th in the 80m Hurdles. The strong headwind impacted the sprinters with both Oscar and Trey's times down on their best.  David ensured we had representation in the 800m in all age groups. In the 100mH both Trey and Montana made the final with Trey taking 2nd place. “
