EYAL Round 2, Ware 8 May

In the Under 13 Girls there were impressive debuts for Ellie Marklew and Emily Woods, both of whom picked up third place in their respective Javelin event. Marklew in particular threw impressively with a throw of 14.39m.
Millie Upton, making her league debut, ran a solid hurdle race and Lauren Coldicott and Annalyse Hassanally continued to impress in the 100m and 200m. Coldicott was involved in two very exciting races and was only beaten by the finest of margins in the 100m; recording exactly the same time as the second placed athlete and with only two hundredths separating the first three. Mackenzie Cranfield and Ellen Savidge ran well considering the punishing heat for the endurance runners
Marley Sarling enjoyed a successful debut for the Under 13 boys picking up a second and third in his two sprint events. James Petty once again ran impressively particularly in the 200m, shaving another three tenths of his PB. Harry McCrae picked up third in the 800m and debutants Morphie Brophie-Ansah and Charlie West produced pleasing first displays.

The Under 15 age group was bolstered by the return of some athletes and by the addition of one or two new faces: due to injury Faith Ogengdenbe was restricted to a single field event so Ami Ashby stepped up to the A events and ran a strong 100m. She then competed in the 80m hurdles and dropped her PB to 13 seconds. Anna Clatworthy also ran the hurdles in a new PB time of 12.5 seconds – although placed sixth this time was the same as the athletes placed fourth and fifth. Breanna Philip, Amelia Loveridge and Maye Ukuti all had good days and covered both track and field events. Charlotte Pratt and Savanna Sirkett ran well in the 800m, claiming first in the B race and 2nd in the A race. Zoe Rutter completed a hat-trick of strong endurance performances with third in the 1500m.

The team was bolstered by a higher turnout of Under 17 men and women:
Bethany Harryman, despite nursing a slight knock from her successful pentathlon last weekend, competed in two field events. She was third in a remarkable high jump in which four competitors could only be separated by using ‘count-back’ and was also third in the javelin. Lottie Rowedder was second in the 1500m and Eilidh Malcolm and Izzy Brown were hugely committed to the cause covering as many events as permissible. Georgia Cranfield in only her second event improved upon her previous times. Lauren Barker made a welcome return, taking fourth in the shot, and Eleanor Beckwith had a good debut in the sprint events.
The U17 men enjoyed a good afternoon individually: Dominique Diamande ran rapidly in both the 100m and 200m; Teale Cunningham produced the performance of the day with 53.6 to take first in the 400m; Leo Chashchin performed well in all three jumps, his highlight being 11.33m in the triple jump for second place; Kieran Bull, similarly, produced three decent throws despite a calf injury sustained during the discus event; Owen Harknett was also injured but still threw the shot; brother, Lewis, was second in the 1500m but then chipped in with field events and the relay. Christian Barker made his first appearance of the season and took second in the B 1500m
