Two Golds and a set of Silvers for Bedfordshire Schools Athletics
Two golds and a set of relay silvers represented a fair return for a largely inexperienced Bedfordshire team at the English Schools Championships in Birmingham last weekend.
Under cloudy skies and windy conditions Thaila-Jade Mason(Van Dyke) followed up last year’s silver medal with an outstanding performance to dominate the Inter Girls Long Jump. Last to jump in the field of 17, she nailed her first jump of 5.92m to kill the competition stone dead. Her dominance was such that four of Thaila’s jumps were in excess of 5.66m the mark of the second placed athlete. Thaila’s reward is selection to represent England in the School’s international in Carmarthen next Saturday.
Fast 200m for Jasmine
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 breaking records again
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.
