Youth Development League Round 3

The results of Round 3 in the Youth Development League have finally been made available and with the intervening period being exceptionally busy, its hard to remember, let alone make sense of them. Held at Mary Peters on Saturday 22 June in very changeable weather, there was a much improved turnout from the club and the best combined response since the boys and girls leagues were amalgamated. It was needed as the opposition was stronger with some clubs having recruited well.

A lot of athletes performed very well and space precludes mention of most. In the U13’s Mollie Brown and Murphy Miller continue to improve with every 1200m race and they are the two most successful in the club since this race replaced 1500m for U13 girls. Molly Longstaff  was abig points scorer and Olivia Vaughan had pbs. Top U13 boy remains Finlay Greer who dominates in javelin and won the shot with a pb.

Saskia Greer had a good U15 100m win with Holly Brannigan also speedy with a pb. Aaron Sexton also had pbs at 200m and high jump. The abiding memory of the U15 boys was at the end with crushing wins in both relays, 4 x 100m and 4 x 300m.

We also had athletes in the separate local U17 league with Molly Bret having a pb at 100m and Chloe Johnston equall[ng hers at 300m while Mark Burton continues to impress at triple jump, Also several senior athletes took the opportunity to compete in the guest events.
