Heart of England League results (Sunday 10th June 2012)

Can I say a big thank you to all of you who supported the first of the Heart Of England  league meetings.  Our overall placing masks many great performances and the results highlight our lack of depth of athletes. Whilst holidays,half term & illness took its toll, I really hope we can encourage more of our fellow athletes to turn out for the next meeting. 

Well done to all of you who achieved PB's and thank you to those of you who did events outside of your comfort zone.  

The next meeting is on 21st July at Banbury. It was great to have so many of you on the coach and I hope you will be on the coach going to Banbury also.

Many of you will have competed in the league over the last couple years and as a result you have played a big part in getting LCAC to the 1st division.  In order to stay there we need to have more blue vests in the line ups of both Track & Field.

I know many of you have already advised me of you availability for the next meeting but can you please confirm your availability via email and your preferred events so that | can start planning the team for the next meeting.

Thank you for supporting the LCAC HoE team and I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Trio perform at BMC Nike Elite Grand Prix, Watford (Saturday 9th June 2012)

Mari Smith, Amy Griffiths and Emily Sales competed at the BMC Nike Grand Prix at Watford on Saturday night. The times that they had previously run this season had enabled them to compete at this event and they performed terrifically.

Mari Smith U17 women ran first in the 800m and knocked a further two seconds from her personal best time and reduced her own club record to win the race in 2.08.51. She beat the prolific Bobby Clay and this must give Mari a huge confidence boost for the track season and so must her 4th place in the Power of Ten rankings, an incredible feat because she is still a bottom aged athlete.

Amy Griffiths U17 women and Emily Sales U20 women both competed in the 1500m. Amy ran a new personal best of 4.29.22 which shoots her to 3rd on the Power of Ten rankings in her age group and it was just .22 outside of Maxine Newman's club record which has stood since 1987.
Emily ran a great race and was unlucky to come away with a time just 1 second outside her personal best with 4.39.82.

Times tumble at Charnwood Open Meeting (Wednesday 6th June 2012)

Not to be outdone both Tom Loring U17 men and George Bell U15b finished within a few hundredths of a second of each other to take 16 seconds and 12 seconds respectively from their times. Tom ran 4.21.22 and George ran 4.21.60.

Neve Grimes U13g ran 5.30.6 to reduce her personal best time by 10 seconds in the 1500m and young Fran Green also U13g clocked 5.07.12 in her debut over this distance.

Big improvements were also made in this distance by Jasmin Southam, Ben Dijkstra, Alfie Thompson, Connor Haywood, Cameron Hart, Luke Beeby and Amrik Gill.
