We had great success in the U14G Discus at the Bedfordshire County Championships, held on the 9th and 10th May. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place were all from Beds and County, well done to Olive, Layla and Malia for their outstanding performances.
Olive also won the shot and javelin, taking her gold medal total up to 3, after her huge 4m PB for discus of 24.46m.
Congratulations to Andrew Leach, who ran the 1500m in 4 min 56.0 to set a new M60 record last week at the EMAC Track & Field League Match 1 at Milton Keynes.
Oriana Johnson extended her W60 hammer record on a cold evening at the EMAC opener. Her third-round throw flew out to 21.43m with the 3kg implement which marks an improvement of more than four metres on her 2025 best, underlining a significant step forward early in the season.
