On Wednesday night, Greg Oulton was at the Golf Ball Fell Race at Rossendale. He found the 5.5 mile race with 801 feet of ascent fairly tough, luckily with not too much mud on the course, but lots of hills and long grass/heather to push through.
There were medals galore for junior members of the club competing in track & field over the bank holiday weekend.
On Saturday, Chloe, Georgia and Connor Norman competed at the Litherland open track and field meeting with great success.
10 year old Georgia jumped 3.20m for fifth place in the long jump, ran 2:05.1 in the 600m for the silver medal and also competed in her first ever hurdle race completing the 60m hurdle race in 12.4s for 4th place. Her younger brother 7 year old Connor ran 12.6s in the 75m for second place in the under 9s,and threw 16.75m for second in the vortex ball earning 2 silver medals. Elder sister Chloe ran in the under 15s 800m in 2:39.9 for the bronze medal. She also competed in the long jump, an event in which she has made great progress this year jumping a huge personal best of 4.29m for silver medal..
Simon Holt and Carmen Cole made the journey to Manchester to compete in the Trafford AC open meeting. Simon sprinted his way to a bronze medal in the U11 boys 75m in 11.33 and leaped his way to a personal best in the Long Jump with 3.67m (6th). He ran a well-judged 600m race to take a bronze with 1:53.58. Carmen also had a good day finishing 4th in her heat of the U11 girls 75m in 12.73 and 8th in the Long Jump with 3.07m.
