Simon Baker reports on this event and the Amanda Marlow memorial open ( below ), featuring club records by Elkie Baker, and a number of fine other performances and PB’s.

 

“ Lots of PB's at a very cold Parliament Hill on Wednesday with 8 Heathsiders taking part.  Artie Feent-Willings, Dylan Mills both won their 300m heats with Avery Dietrich 4th but all set PB's.  Abel Woldegiorgis was 2nd in the 2nd 1500m heat.  In the 5000m both Jordan Marshall and Joseph Young recorded PB's with Thomas Archer also recording a sub 15:25 time.

 

In the field events Avery Dietrich improved his High Jump PB by 5cm to 1.65m despite the challenging conditions.  In the Discus Elkie Baker improved her PB and club record by 2.14m to 31.98m the first time she has thrown over 30m and is now ranked 2nd U15G in the UK. “
