MYAL #3, BFTTA Open, ESAA and more!

The big event this week was the MYAL #3 held at Parliament Hill on Saturday, where Heathside came 1st with the Juniors winning 5 of the 8 age groups and 5 new club records were made. There was also success at the BFTTA Open, with great results for all and Amara Odegberin coming 1st in the 800m. Over at Lee Valley, Trey Corlis shone at the ESAA Combined Events SE Regional Final where he finished 7th winning the Hurdles in a new PB and Club record of 12s as well as setting a new PB in the Shot and 800m. 

MYAL 3#, Parliament Hill, 26.6.21

Another meeting and another first place although this time jointly with Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers. The Juniors won 5 of the 8 Age Groups with 15 event wins and 5 new club records (another 2 would have been set but for the wind).

A generally sunny Parliament Hill again saw a dominant display in many age groups. The Club won the U11 Boys, and both boys and girls for the U13 and U15 age groups.  With one meeting remaining the Club have 165 points to Shaftesbury's 134 points and need just 42 points at the last meeting to guarantee the title for the first time.

There were event wins for Phoebe Willhof-King (U11G 600m), Grace Wood (U11G Long Jump), Gabriel Edwards (U11B 75m, Long Jump), Charlie Watkins (U11B Vortex), Suraya Frost (U13G 200m, 70mH, Long Jump), Issy Watkins (U15G 800m), Imani Quamina (U15G 75mH), Sapphire Thorbourne (U15G Hammer), Thomas Wassermann (U15B 80mH, Shot Put), Milton Cooper (U15B Hammer) and Martha Jolly (U17W Long Jump).  New Club Records were set by Gabriel U13 Boys 75m, Issy U15G 800m, Milton in both Hammer and 300m and Sapphire also in the U15 Hammer.

The meeting saw the first U11 events and Juniors making their debut for the club in their first proper athletics meeting.  Amongst some excellent performances were; Phoebe Willhoft King winning the 600m despite a very large field and Grace Wood finishing 3rd in the 75m and winning the Long Jump.  The Boys won their age group convincingly winning 3 of the 4 events with Rory Willis 2nd in the 600m.  Debutant Charlie Watkins, whose sisters ran later in the U15G 800m, won the vortex with Gabriel Edwards winning the long jump and with 10.06s recording the fastest time by an U11 in the UK this year to break his club record and set a new meeting record by 0.65s!

The U13 Girls saw another awesome display of hurding by Suraya Frost with a wind assisted 11.68s she also won the 200m and Long Jump events.  In a tough 4 way battle for the 800m Kiara Corkin was just run out of the top three on the home straight.  Valuable points were added by Tara Sweetnam (70mH/200m) and Elkie Baker (Shot/Javelin).  Neyhmah Anderson, although non scoring, ran the 2nd fastest 200m by a Heathsider in her first race over the distance. Milli Bridgeman-Athanasatos in her debut jumped the 2nd longest with 4.30m.  There were no event wins in the U13 Boys however the team all put in great performances to win the age group with 2nd places in the 800m by Sam Turner while Tristian Willhoff King ran 2.34 in his first race over the distance.  Max Wassermann scored highly in all his events as everyone contributed to win the age group by 9 pts from SBH. .

In the U15 Girls Imani Quamina ran a wind assisted PB of 11.61 in the 75mH, which was 0.4s faster than her previous best. She also ran a big PB in the 200m.   Issy and Amelia Watkins won their 800m races both leading from the front to record new PB's.  Issy’s time of 2.19.67 broke Rose Garrett’s previous club record. In the Hammer Sapphire Thornborne set a new club record and also threw Javelin and Shot with Ivy Paitoo.  The U15 Boys, despite missing Trey Corlis, again saw contributions from all those taking part to win the age group again from SBH but by 8 pts.  Thomas Wasserman won the hurdles and then produced a big PB of over 1m in the Shot to win that competition.  In the Hammer Milton Cooper threw over 25m to set a new Club Record to go with the 300m record he also broke by 0.07s..  

There were only a few U17's taking part.  The U17 Womens team was made up of U15 Girls with Lucy Corkin producing a solid 300m and 800m while Martha Jolly won the Long Jump.  In the U17 Men Janak Subberwal took 6s off his 800m PB finishing just behind former Heathsider Spike Blake now running for SBH.  Fred Beale set a new PB in the 400m

A fantastic all-round result and hopefully we can repeat this once more at the last meeting at the StoneX Stadium on Sunday 16th July as the season reaches it's climax so delay those summer holiday plans.

Thanks as always to the coaches, officials and parents who all contributed to such a successful day. This small video clip gives a small flavour of the day - sadly we have no photos https://youtu.be/esp4NDd8voc

A number of Heathsiders opted to run in East London instead of in the MYAL at Parliament Hill. Adrian Day set good times in 150m and 400m.  David Baah-Okyere ran his first 400m and big PBs for Amara and Mia in the 800m and 1500m respectively. Adrian commented: “I ran at the Befitt Open at Dagenham.  Managed 23.5 for the 150m (a pb, but the first time I've run it) and second in my 400 race at 67.97 coming back from injury so hope to improve on those at next races.”
