Two of our young athletes came home with medals from the London Youth Games at Crystal Palace last Sunday. Mattia Cilurzo (pictured left) won silver in the long jump and Lucas Sheehan (pictured right) won bronze in the 200m.

It was always going to be a tough call, getting a full team down to Yeovil for the penultimate Southern Athletics League match, so well done to the fifteen athletes who made the trip. The four women did especially well, notching up 42 points between them. Most of the women’s points came in the field, […]
Our U20/U17 squad travelled to Winchester for the third match of the Youth Development League, on a day which started wet but brightened as the afternoon went on. As ever, there was a great team spirit and a healthy sprinkling of good performances. The afternoon finished on a high note with winning performances in the […]
Nicholas Landeau competed in his first senior champs in Trinidad over the weekend, taking gold in the 1500m and silver in the 800m. In the 800m, he set a PB of 1:49.41, only five-hundredths of a second behind the winner Jamaal James (who has a PB 1:46.57). Congratulations from all at ESM.
Our Under 13/Under 15 squad showed great team spirit to finish fifth in their third Youth Development League match of the season last Saturday at Winchester. The athletes who went had a very successful afternoon, and would have scored better with a fuller complement of U13 girls. For the U15 boys, Daniel O’Sullivan was second […]
After winning his heat on Saturday in 1:49.98, Ben Waterman went on to take third in Sunday’s final, running 1:50.66 in a classy field led home by Charlie Grice. Congratulations from all of us.
W45 Claudia Manera was our star performer at the Osterley Park 10k on Saturday, finishing third in the women’s field with a competitive time of 43:35 over this multi-terrain course. This was the third fixture in our new road race championship series, and ESM sent twenty runners, a combination of club members, graduates of our […]
Saturday saw our best SAL result so far, with a win by over 20 points from second-placed Wycombe Phoenix. Weather conditions were also favourable: mild, with only a light breeze, so there was a good smattering of season’s bests and PBs. On the track, the men’s and women’s squads contributed equally in terms of wins […]
Thirteen proved a lucky number for ESM at the Watford Open Meeting last Wednesday. That’s how many of our young middle distance runners competed in the 800m races, and nine of them produced a PB. Coach Graham French also put in a decent M60 performance! There was more good news for Laura Stewart, who has been […]
Mel Newbery lowered her own 3000m steeplechase record by nearly two seconds at the Portland Track Festival in Oregon, finishing in 10:16.83. Well done Mel!
