In what was a sombre week for the nation, this week’s highlights include the Middlesex Road relays, SAL, a win and a V50 club record in half marathons.

Middlesex Road Relays, Hayes , 11.9.22

Simon sent in the following report from Hayes:”

Sunday saw the traditional road relays to open the winter season, with the club securing two wins in the U15 and U17 girls with Issy Watkins and Amy Kirk securing fastest laps in their respective races.

Last season we had no U11s so Seb McNeely produced a welcome run to finish 10th in the Boys race. The U13's were all debuting in the race with Rory Willis running our fastest leg and 9th fastest overall to finish in 4th place. Interestingly their time of 36.36 was 30s faster than our U13 Boys winning time last year. For the girls Caitlin Roberts ran the 9th fastest leg overall as the team finished in 6th place.

The U15 Boys secured our first medal with 2nd place thanks to Koppany Szentes and Dylan Mills recording the 6th and 7th fastest legs overall with Ben Ryan taking 20s off his time last year crossing the line behind St Mary's Richmond. A young U15 Girls team went one better with Amy Kirk improving her time last year by 30s to record the fastest lap in the race Mia Rosen and Lettice Gundry both ran well to secure the gold medal.

Despite valiant runs from Fred Beale, George Saint and Greg Berrisford-Sweet who all recorded times of 11.00 or below our U17 Mens team could only finish 6th. The U17 womens team however secured the gold medal with Issy Watkins the fastest lap. Ruby supported Issy and Hattie who had both turned out for the Seniors in the SAL the day before.

Thank to Ruth, Kabila and Zac for supporting the athletes on the day.

SAL Division 2 East 5#, Perivale, 10.9.22

Simon sent in the following from Perivale:

What had promised to be a strong SAL season petered out at Perivale on Saturday with the Club finishing in 4th place for the 2nd meeting a row despite the valiant efforts of the small team that turned out reinforced by some masters and young athletes. The outstanding performer was Cian who won both 100m and 200m races as well as long jump. Mark Jefford and Ivan Ross filled in as many events as they could with Ivan 1st in the Pole Vault and Joel Hawes was 1st in the Hammer. Adrian Day scored his first senior athletics points running in the 400m. The women's team was even shorter of athletes with a shout out to Genevieve Weston who competed in 7 events (400m, 800m, 100mH, 400mH, 2000mSC, Javelin, and 4x100m)!

Thank you to Jeniffer Wing and Mark Jefford for their captaincy this season, thank you to all the athletes that have turned out over the season and officials have helped out.

Next season Highgate Harriers will be in our group to add a little local rivalry
