For the U17s, there were PBs in the 100m for both Phoenix Lyon and Desmond Ofasi. Desmond won the 200m A race in his debut at this distance. Kamau Muhammed improved on his 200m time in the B race and cut his teeth over 100m, competing in the U20 B race. In the U17 women’s events, Amber Henry won the 100m B with a PB, and also gained a PB in the 200m. Laura Stewart won the 300m hurdles and came second in the 300m flat, with a PB in both cases. Nicola Ravenhill won the 800m with a personal best time, and Roisin Lynch equalled her PB in the long jump. Well done all, and thanks to those parents who made a helpful contribution as judges.

With exam season under way, it was a slightly depleted squad of U20/U17 athletes who travelled to Portsmouth for the second match of the Youth Development League on Saturday. However, we won eight events, and witnessed a good crop of PBs. The athletes did their best to maximise points by competing in events outside their comfort zone, and we once again finished fourth overall, some 30 points behind Hillingdon.
