Congratulations to Jasmine Wilkins and Etienne Maughan who each claimed a
silver medal in the England U20 and U23 Championships held at Birmingham
on the weekend of 20/21 July.
Running in the 100m on Saturday, Jasmine comfortably won her heat in 11.82
seconds (w – 1.6) and finished second in the final with 11.94 seconds battling
against a -2.8 wind. On Sunday, she finished 5 th in the final of the 200m in a
time of 23.99 seconds, which also constituted a personal best and a club record.
Jasmine has been called up as part of the relay squad for the GB team for the
World U20 Championships to be held in Peru in August.
Not to be outdone, Etienne, recovering from injury, gained Bedford’s second
silver of the weekend placing second in the U23 100m Hurdles in a time of
13.64 seconds, just a tenth outside her personal best.
Congratulations to Tilly W who represented Cambridgeshire in the IG Triple Jump, placing 12th with a jump of 10.34m.
Congratulations to Jack Goodwin (Senior Men) and Noah Campion (U20 Men) who have been selected to represent England in the Cardiff home countries 5k road race on the August 24th.
Congratulations to Emily Elphick who set a new U13 Girls club record of 33.90m in the Javelin at the National Prep Schools Championships in Birmingham on 3rd July.
Jasmine Wilkins ran 24.18 sec to break the 34 year old club record in the 200m at the NAL match at Bedford on Sunday 7th July.
This was her first 200m of the season, so there is plenty of room for even faster performances as her season gets going. She has a chance to go under the 24 sec mark in the England U20 / Senior Track and field Champs to be held in Birmingham July 19th - 21st.
Congratulations and good luck Jasmine!
Jasmine Wilkins has been breaking records again, running 11.36 secs (in a legal wind speed of 1.8) in a 100m race at Stratford Speed meet on Tuesday 2nd July.
This time qualifies her for the World Junior Champs in Lima Peru and is also a new club record.
She is in a rich vein of form at the moment and hopefully will turn out for the club in the NAL this weekend.
The PV squad were pleased to see that we still hold 6 of the 8 records from the Eastern AA Championships.
All entries from the squad won a medal on Saturday.

After two challenging fixtures in Nottingham and Leigh, our final NAL league match will take place in Bedford on Sunday, July 7th. This is expected to be the last round of league fixtures before a potential promotion playoff and separate cup match, also in Bedford (but not hosted or organized by our club) on Saturday, August 3rd. The August match would be for A-string events only, but there is some uncertainty about whether it will proceed.
