Handforth Wilmslow Alderley Athletics Club

Cheshire Relays - 21 July

We had a great time at Crewe. Well done: Oscar, Stuart, sam and Ben.

The boys were such fantastic representatives of the club.   I was really impressed by the way the boys  coped with the occasion - I know how tense it can feel in a situation like that.  They worked really well together,  encouraged each other and I was so pleased to see excellent baton passes on every single handover. 

The competition was really fierce on the day - if I've got my figures right, Crewe and Nantwich 'A' set an new county record in the 'A' final, so our boys did really well to come 4th in the 'B' final.  For the record, our time in the heat was 65.1s and 65.6s in the 'B' final - if we could have reduced that by 1s overall (just 0.25s per runner) then we would have been 2nd.  Something to aim for!

Can't wait for Colwyn Bay on 2nd September - to see how we do!!

Track and Field - Macclesfield

It was good to see so many Athletes at Macclesfield to support the Club and to see many really good performances from them.  In the U.11 Boys most of whom were competing for the first time, Sam Firth & Brandon Horne did particularly well in the 75m Sprint as did Ben Mail in the 600m race.  It was also very rewarding to see Sam Thompson competing for the first time.

The U.11 Girls also had a good day with PBs (Personal Best performances) in the 600m & Soft Javelin Throw for Clara (she took first place with her throw again !!) and for Charlotte in all three of her events. To cap it all we had to draw lots to decide who would run in the 4 x 100m Relay, Clara lost but got her chance to run with the Boys team, both teams had a good run.

In the U.13s age group all three athletes set new PBs with Alice bettering her 100m time and both Daniel & Niklas in their 800m race also Nick produced a great throw in the Shot Putt to take 3rd place.

George Ridley and Jamie Scobby together with Andy Acton made up the remainder of the team, both George and Jamie were able to set PBs in all their events, particularly pleasing was Jamie's 1.55m clearance in the high jump to take 2nd place. 

Thanks to all the Athletes/Parents who responded to Mike's request for information which allowed him to produce the list allocating the correct results to the individual Athletes. See Main Page for the link.
