We came third out of six competing clubs in last Sunday’s U17/U20 YDL match at Perivale – a pleasing outcome in a match which produced few wins or PBs for us.
The women led the way again, with Eldika Edwards (pictured) grabbing victory both in the U20 100m (12.6) and the 200m (26.2). Siobhan Drummond had her throwing arm working well, as she won the U20 discus with a PB of 35.15m and produced another PB of 28.41m in the javelin to finish second. In the javelin B string, Erica Wallace threw a PB of 18.49m. Kamile Bykovaite won the U20 triple jump, backed up by a B string win from Lara Kotecha with a PB of 8.95m.
Three of the club’s U17 women won their events: Erica Wallace ran 2:24.2 in the 800m, while Georgia Dee took maximum points in the B race. Yasmine Ferguson threw a winning shot putt of 11.37m and backed that up with a PB of 26.67m in the hammer.
In the U17 800m, Mukhtar Farah notched up the only victory for the men, but Joel Wynter had the consolation of achieving a PB of 12.5 in the U17 100m. Once again, D’Yon Christopher proved a valuable points scorer for the team, coming second in the U20 100m, 200m and 400m races.
