Richard Lockhart guested in the hammer at the first River Rock meeting which opened the track season on Thursday. Richard threw a new pb of 39.25m with the senior weight, adding more than a metre to his own North Down Senior record, while David Keys had a pb of 38.78m to win the U18 age group. Sprinters were to the fore with Kiki Malomo Paris and Hannah Lewis first and second in the 100m, Katie Hewitt first at long jump while Nicola Simpson won the U18 800m.
Nicola had a massive improvement over last season and her win took 8 seconds off her pb. There should be more to come as she has had an excellent Winter season.
At U16 100m, Kiki was 1st, Hannah 2nd, Catherine Caldwell 5th and Katie 7th. At Long Jump, Katie won with Hannah 3rd, Kiki 6th and Catherine 8th with Kiki and Katie 3rd and 7th at Discus.
