MYAL - We are 2021 League Champions !

On the hottest day of the year the Juniors served up some scorching performances in the half built StoneX stadium. Although Shaftesbury, the home team, won the meeting we secured second place and with 57 pts enough to secure the League title for the first time finishing on 222 pts to SBH's 194 pts

On Sunday the Club won the U11 Boys, U15 Boys, U13 and U15 Girls age groups, The U13 and U15 Girls completed clean sweeps of all 4 meetings. There were 19 event wins for Gabriel Edwards (U11B 150m and Long Jump), Suraya Frost (U13G 70mH and Long Jump), Sam Turner (U13B 1500m), Emilia Watkins (U15G 1500m), Imani Quamina (U15G Long Jump), Sapphire Thornbourne (U15G Shot Putt), Ivy Paitoo (U13G Discus) , Patrycja Jarosz (U15G Hammer), U15G 4x100m, David Baah-Okyere (U15B 1500m), Trey Corlis (U15B 100m, 80mH, Long Jump), Thomas Wassermann (U15B Discus, Shot Putt), Michael Lee (U15B Hammer) and Artie Feeny Willings (U15B High Jump). 5 Club records were broken by Gabriel Edwards (U13B 150m), Suraya Frost (U13G 100m and 70mH), Imani Quamina (U15G 75mH) and U15G 4x100m. There were also 4 new meeting records set by Heathsiders in the U11B 150m, U13G 70mH and Long Jump, U15B 80mH.

The U11's kicked events off with the girls finishing 2nd Eliza Burridge producing the fastest 150m and Long Jump of the Heathsiders. The relays saw the A team finish 2nd to a very strong Shaftesbury Team. Gabriel Edwards anchored the U11 Boys team setting a new meeting record in the 150m which is the 9th ranked time nationally by an U13Boy and over 2 s faster than the next U11. He also matched his PB in the Long Jump. Rory Willis came 2nd in the 800m with Charlie Watkins 2nd in the Vortex to win the age group.

In the U13 Girls Suraya Frost was in fine form breaking the club U13G 100m record while finishing 2nd to Angle McLeod who is ranked 3rd U13G in the UK, Suraya set a new meeting record in the Long Jump and then lowered her 70mH Club record in the 4th fastest time this year. Amy Kirk and Caitlin Roberts were the first two Heathsiders home in a very hot 1500m their first races over the distance. Elsewhere Elkie Baker finished 2nd in the Shot and Discus to add valuable points as the girls completed a clean sweep of 4 age Group. In the Boys Sam Turner produced a great 1500m to improve his PB by 5s and beat the previously unbeaten Arthur Philips of SBH. Max and Tristian both recorded 2nd places in the High Jump and Hurdles respectively.

Both U15 teams completed a clean sweep winning all four matches. The Girls saw a great 1-2 in the 1500m with Emelia responding to Mia's kick to overtake again on the home straight for the win. Imani finished 2nd in the 100m and 75mH but set a new club record in the Hurdles, the 14th fastest this year. The girls were dominant in the field events winning every event they entered with Imani (LJ), Sapphire (SP), Ivy (Discus), Patrija (Hammer) sharing the wins. The meeting was rounded off with a sensational relay win against a very strong Shaftesbury quartet setting a new club record in the process. The boys were boosted by Trey back from his medal winning performance in the National Schools but won every event apart from the relay. He was in superb form setting a PB while winning the 100m which he followed with the Long Jump and then the hurdles setting a new meeting record. David Baah Okyere ran a totally dominant 1500m leading from the front to win. In the other field events Thomas again won the Shot and Discus with Artie gaining a win in the High Jump and Michael the Hammer the win was never in doubt.

The U17's were hit by some late drop outs which left Janak Suberwall the only U17M competing, running a good 3rd place in the 1500m. In the women Issy Watkins stepped up an age group and set a new 1500m PB finishing second Tess Walker made her debut in the same race. Ave finished third in the 100m. The U15 Girl B relay team stepped up to compete in the relay producing a creditable time of 57.7s.

So there ends another season this time after finishing second twice a new name will go on the trophy which has been won by Highgate since the league started. The season has seen more Juniors compete across the full range of events than ever before and hopefully those who have taken part are already looking forward to next year when hopefully other clubs will also be at a full complement.

Thanks again to team managers Ruth, Rachel, Mary and Russell particularly having to deal with a very tight competiton timetable and the impact of athletes having to isolate at the last minute. Thanks to all the volunteers and officials Miriam and Claudia who braved the heat to ensure the competiton ran smoothly. Thanks for the parents for getting your athletes there to compete and of course most of all to the Juniors who have turned up, trained hard and competed so well often in events very new to them.

So until next April when the competiton restarts London Heathside are MYAL Champions 2021!
