30th April 2011: Boys lead Mid Lancs Div 2 after 1st League meeting

The first T&F League meeting of the season was held at Blackpool's Stanley Park on Saturday; match one in the Mid Lancs League. It was a warm and sunny afternoon in Blackpool but a strong easterly wind made conditions difficult for competitors. An east wind is a head wind in the home straight at Stanley Park so it affects all runners but there were some surprisingly good performances, particularly in the 800m where both Andrew Kershaw and Tom Lodge recorded grade 2 times, Andrew's less than half a second off the 10-year old Under 15 club record set by Mark Leicester.

There was a relatively good turn-out by Southport Waterloo athletes, particularly by the boys who scored 120 points to lead Division 2. Readers will recall they were relegated from Division 1 last year so this was a good start. Our girls, in Division 2 for a couple of seasons now, were less in evidence. Nonetheless, 80 points were enough to put them in 2nd place. The almost total absence of our senior athletes will always made it difficult, however, for the club to stay up with the bigger clubs in Division 1.

In the Under 13 Girls' Emma Alderson and new member Sara Laib were competing. Emma had a varied track day combining her 800m with both a 100m and a 200m. Her 100m in 15.9 was just a little slower than at Wigan earlier this month but she ran a PB 200m in 31.8 and she won race 2 of the Under 13 Girls' 800 with a fine run in 2:42.8. There were an impressive 27 Under 13 girls running 800m and Emma's time was 5th fastest! Sara made a good start to her sprinting with the club running 15.9 for 100m and 34.2 for 200m.

We had a few more Under 13 Boys in action; in fact twice as many. Jimmy Alderson competed for the club for the first time running 16.3 for 100m, 35.9 for 200m and long jumping 3m 23. Andrew Fallon ran 16.8 for 100m and recorded a PB in the 800m, a grade 3 time of 2:49.9. The 1500m saw brothers Harry and Tom Peacock in action. Both ran well but Harry was particularly impressive, taking the lead at the bell and winning in 5:23.8, just a second off his PB in a strong wind. Younger brother Tom completed the distance in 5:54.8.

Ellie Roberts was the star of the Under 15 Girls' competing in two events. She easily won her 800m race in 2:31.1, a graded performance, and improved her PB from 48.4 to 46.1 in the faster 300m. Caroline Smith and Lucy Hunter joined her in the 300m race, Caroline finishing 2nd in her heat in 46.8 and Lucy 56.4. In the sprints, Ellie Alderson ran a 15.0 secs 100m and 30.7 200m and Alice Cribb flew the club flag in the 1500m, finishing 2nd in a wind-affected 6:08.1.

The best performances of the day came from our Under 15 Boys, starting with the first event, the 800m, where we had three runners. Both Andrew Kershaw and Tom Lodge ran very impressive races, finishing 1st and 2nd in 2:08.6 and 2:09.4; both grade 2 times! Chris Fallon was the third member, finishing in 2:27.8. All these 800m times are PBs. Both Luke Tyson and Adam Cullen favoured the 1500m but in the strong wind it was more about finishing positions than times. Luke was 3rd in 4:52 and Adam 4th in 4:58.

There were more PBs for Andrew and Tom in the 400m. Andrew was 2nd in his race in 58.4 (61.8 was his best from 2010) and Tom ran 59.4 (a best of 64.9 from last year) to win his race.

Finally, Chris Fallon had a run in the 100m and crossed the line in 15.6 secs.

Sally Wareing was our only Under 17 Women out today. She achieved graded standards in both the 300m and the 200m. She won her 300m race by a full 3 secs, in a very good time of 42.5 secs and was 2nd in her 200m, in 26.6, a best this season.

With several boys moving up an age group, we looked strong in the Under 17 Men's events, particularly over 400m where we should do well in the YAL 4x400m relay. Fastest today over that distance were Owen Williams and Patrick Cullen who crossed the line together in 58.0. Owen was given the judges' decision but 58.0 was a PB for Patrick. Graham Boreham ran 64.7 in his race but has a sub-60 secs PB so will get back to those sorts of times. Graham was one of just three of our athletes who got involved in field events at Blackpool. He started with a 15m 21 hammer throw and his 15m 50 best in the discus was a new PB.

Owen and Patrick were together again in the 200m. Both were in the same race and again Owen was involved in a tight finish and again got the decision; winning his heat in 26.9 secs. Patrick was 3rd in 27.3.

Niall Cullen took the opportunity of this meeting to run both distance events in the same day. He ran 2:04.4 for 800m and 2:22.5 for 1500m. He was a clear winner in both events and these are good times for both events. Gary Clark joined Niall in the 800m and ran 2:19.0, just a second off his PB which was a good result in these conditions.

Finally, Jon Hunter competed in the Senior Men's discus and achieved a best of 19m 30.

Thanks to all those who competed today and to new (stand-in) team manager Chris Henders. Thanks to to Steve Boreham for photos. We didn't meet our obligation to provide officials / helpers today so if anyone can help at future meetings we would be very grateful.

23rd April 2011: Successful Start to the Fell Running Grand Prix (by Brian Davey)

15 runners from Southport Waterloo took to the fells at Rivington Pike on Easter Saturday in the first race of the new fell running Grand Prix. The race is one of the oldest in the fell running calendar and attracted a good field of 265 runners as well as plenty of spectators who lined the course. The conditions were perfect for running; slightly overcast with very little wind the course was dry and fast. The start is fast with the first 600m being run on the road before turning to start the ascent up to the tower. After rounding the tower there is a flat out descent before returning to the finish along the road.

Andi Jones of Salford won the race in 17.08, a minute ahead of the second runner. First home for Southport was Steve Wilkinson in 33rd place in a time of 20.29 followed by Neil Adshead (53rd)  in 22.01, third was the improving Steve Lewis (60th) in 22.27 followed by Steve McLean 22.37, Rick Bowker 23.11, Simon Tobin 23.39, Brian Davey 24.02, Matthew Nelson 24.34, Ed Shenstone 25.49, Rob Cosgrove 28.25, who was competing in his first fell race, and Clive James 28.30.

For the Ladies, Michelle Spencer was the first lady home (181st) in 27.25, followed by Carole James 30.44 and Elaine Sutton 33.57.

Whilst enjoying the after-race refreshments in the Crown pub, the day had a silver lining when it was announced that Steve Wilkinson, Neil Adshead and Steve Lewis had taken the team silver medal in Merseyside fell running Championships which had been run as part of Rivington Pike race. (Ed: Michelle, Carole and Elaine were also placed 2nd women's team in the Merseyside Championships!)

Grand Prix Scores after 1 race.

Men: S. Wilkinson 10 pts, N Adshead 8 pts, S Lewis, 7 pts, S Mclean 6 pts, R Bowker 5 pts, S Tobin 4 pts, B Davey 3pts, M Nelson 1 pt, E Shenstone 1 pt, R Cosgrove 1 pt, C James 1pt.

Ladies: M Spencer 10 pts, C James 8 pts, E Sutton 7 pts.

Next Race is the Hutton Roof on 28th May.

22nd April 2011: Course record broken at Good Friday races

Despite a glorious spring day, with temperatures twice the average for late April, numbers taking part in the Brooks Southport Good Friday races were down again this year. Southport's Victoria Park was the ideal setting for these races and there was a relaxed, friendly atmosphere about the event. It was well supported by Southport Waterloo runners who took four podium places and several vet prizes.

The meeting kicked off with the 3K fun run, mainly youngsters, with 58 males and 30 females finishing the 2 1/2 lap course. Southport Waterloo's Luke Tyson was the winner in 10:29, over a minute faster than 2nd-placed Cameron Leece (unattached) in 11:31 and Joe Hammond (Sale Harriers) 3rd in 11:44. Luke's time was an encouraging 27 secs faster than last year, without any real pressure in the race.

The club had a 1;2 in the girls' race with Lauren Deane winning in 12:20 - 3rd last year in 13:07 - and Emma Alderson 2nd in 12:38. Alexandra Barnsley (unattached) was 3rd in 12:58.

There were 23 Southport Waterloo finishers in the 3K. Other 'top 10' finishers in the boys' race were Matthew Tobin, 4th in 11:58, Harry Peacock, 6th in 11:59 - and 1st Under 11- Elliot Styche was 9th in 12:37 and Jude McGlynn was 10th in 12:48. Just outside the top 10, Tom Shearer was 11th in 12:48 and Oliver Burrill was 15th in 13:00. Ed Peacock was 21st in 13:29, Jack Shearer 23rd in 13:45, Jamie Tipping, 30th in 14:23, Jack O'Neill, 34th in 15:41, Samuel Cain, 38th in 16:17, Michael O'Neill, 40th in 16:29, Jimmy Alderson, 43rd in 17:05, Joseph Grimes, 44th in 17:11 and Kevin O'Neill 46th in 17:47.

In the Girls' race, other Southport Waterloo finishers were Sally Laughton, 2nd Under 11, 6th overall, in 13:18, Lily Edwards, 18th in 16:54, Ellen Deane, 21st in 17:09 and Emily Cain, 29th in 25:48.

Fun Run Results

In the Women's 4 Miles Race, Dionne Allen of Leigh Harriers and Catherine Draper quickly pulled away from the following pack and started to stretch them out. They were quickly beyond reach. Dionne Allen finished 1st in 22:43 - a minute outside the course record - with Catherine Draper 2nd in 24:14 and Jayne Taylor of Wigan Phoenix, 3rd in 25:38. Tracey Peters was the first finisher in a Southport Waterloo vest; 8th in 26:19 - 37 secs faster than last year and possibly a new PB. The ever-young veteran Sue Cooper was our 2nd finisher - and 1st L55 - 13th overall in 26:46. Representing the next generation, Lauren Clarehugh ran her first 4 miler and finished 1st Under 17 - indeed the first junior - 24th overall in 29:24. Carole James was 30th in 30:19, Sue Stewart, 1st L60 and 37th overall in 32:49 - 2 minutes faster than last year. Helen Lodge was 43rd in 33:49, Gill Gillison, 61st overall and 3rd L55 in 36:27, Elaine Sutton, 64th in 36:45, Sarah Reynolds, 67th in 37:02 and Sheila Marshall, 2nd L65 and 74th overall in 37:55.

Women's 4 Mile Results

Finally, the largest race of the day was the Senior Men's 4 Miles, with 168 finishers. Again, the front two runners quickly broke away from the pack with Toby Loveridge holding on to 3rd place. In a strong individual run, Liverpool Harrier Jonny Mellor went on to break the course record, worth a £100 bonus. His new mark was 18:59, a 14 secs improvement that will be hard to better even on this fast, flat course. Ian Rawlinson of Tipton Harriers was 2nd in 19:51 and Southport Waterloo's James Tartt came through to take 3rd place in 20:43 - the 2nd fastest time by a Southport Waterloo runners. Blackburn Harrier Karl Billington was the the first Junior Man, 4th overall, in 20:48 just getting the better of local Junior Toby Loveridge who dropped back to finish 2nd Junior Man, 5th overall, in 20:54.. Southport Waterloo's Patrick Vis was 3rd Junior Man, 8th overall, in 21:43.

The club had 18 runners in the men's race - and the number would have been even higher but several runners had the London Marathon, run just 6 days earlier, still in their legs. Next in was Steve Wilkinson, 22nd in 23:29, then Steve Lewis, 32nd in 24:10, Will Tansley, 34th in 24:12, Adam Clansey, 41st in 24:33, Matthew Goddard, 47th in 24:50, Keith Lunt, 52nd in 25:19, Matthew Nelson, 54th in 25:23, Rob McGrath, 62nd in 25:52 and Paul Ashby, 77th in 27:08. Other finishers were Ian Kilshaw, 82nd in 27:44, Pete Tinsley, 97th in 28:19, Carlos Irizar, 99th in 28:34, Alex Holt, 101st in 28:37, Steve James, 1st V70 and 110th overall in 29:47, David Marsh, 143rd in 34:03 and Jon Singleton, 166th in 38:46. It looks like Tom Peacock suffered another retirement.

Men's 4 Mile Results

Several people commented on how well organised today's races were and for that we have to thank our Race Director Robbie Clark and his team of helpers. Volunteers to help run events like this are always in short supply and our thanks goes to everyone who contributed to today's successful event.

17 April 2011: 1st club outdoor T&F record set at Wavertree Open

The old Melbourne Open track and field meeting at Wavertree was regularly a cold affair but since it was replaced by the Ernie Gallagher Open for school years 4 to 9 and the Tom O'Mahoney Open for Under 17s and above, it has been blessed with good weather. This year's meeting on Sunday was gloriously warm and sunny and the Wavertree Athletics Centre held lots of T&F athletes looking for early season form; or even better a PB.

For many of the Southport Waterloo contingent the quest was successful. 21 new personal bests were produced, capped with an excellent new Club Record for Niall Cullen in the Mile - 4 mins 36.9.

Amongst the Year 4/5s, each of our three competitors achieved PBs, many showing significant improvement as a result of regular training. They were Alice Delaney, Olivia Pines and Sophie Barry. Alice was our fastest 75m runner, running 11.6 compared with 12.5 at our own open meeting last September. Alice also won her 600m race in 2:04.3, another new best time. Olivia won her 75m race in 11.7 - 13.1 last September! She ran 24.1 in the 150m and was our best long jumper clearing 2m 59. Finally, Sophie also showed great improvement over 75m with 12.8 on Sunday. She also long jumped 2m 43.

Ed Peacock was our only Year 4/5 boy. Like his brothers, he focused on middle distance and ran a promising 4:11.4 for 600m, again a significant improvement from 2:19 just last year.

Ellie-Mae Barry was our only Year 6 Girl. Her 150m time of 25.1 was a new PB She also long jumped 2m 78. In the Year 6 Boys, Tom Peacock competed over 800m and the long jump achieving 2:52.8 and 3m 47 respectively.

Harry Peacock and Oliver Burrill featured in the Year 7 Boys' events. Both boys ran the 800m and the 200m, Harry just the faster in both. His 30.4 over 200m was a new PB with Oliver running 30.8. In a very close fought 800m - there was only 2 secs separating the three finishers - Harry was 2nd in 2:33.2. Oliver, in a separate race, ran 2:49.1. Oliver also had a go at the soft javelin and achieved a best throw of 21 metres 75.

Turning then to the Year 8/9 events, Ellie Roberts repeated her Wigan performance and moves steadily towards a grade 2 standard. She won her race at Wavertree in 2:25.2, improving on her 2:25.5 PB set at Wigan. Alice Cribb also ran 800m, finishing in 2:58.6.

We had several boys competing in this age group. Drew Warnock Dumbell set new PBs in both the 100m and 200m. In the 100m, the finish was so tight that the first three were all given 12.1 secs but Drew just got his vest in front to get the judges decision. The 200m was another win for Drew, this time in 24.4, a significant and pleasing improvement on his previous best; 25.1 set at last year's Merseyside Schools.

Adam Cullen impressed in the 1500m race. Here we had two runners in Southport Waterloo vests with Luke Tyson - still not yet fully fit after a difficult winter - sitting comfortably in 2nd place for much of the race and Adam Cullen in third place several metres behind. In the last lap, with 200m to go, Adam made a decisive move and eased passed both runners in front to win in 4:41.7. Luke followed through to take 2nd place in 4:42.6, an excellent start to the season for both boys.

In the 800m Tom Lodge and Zak Hogg competed, both enjoying good runs. Both had 2:21 PBs from last year and at Wavertree improved those times. Tom finished 2nd in the race in 2:13.6 and Zak was 3rd in 2:17.6. Zak also ran a 26.5 200m.

In the field, Liam Harrison was in action in both the shot and javelin. He was 2nd in the javelin with a best throw of 30m 42 and won the shot with a new PB of 9m 24.

In the 2nd - Tom O' Mahoney - meeting there were 9 Southport Waterloo athletes, all runners and only one girl! Eleanor Newton moved up from Under 17 80m hurdles to Under 20 Women's 100m hurdles. There were only 2 girls in the race but they cleared the hurdles stride for stride, both crossing the line in 15.6 secs, Eleanor getting the judges' decision on the line.

In the Under 17 Men's events, the star performer was Niall Cullen. Niall wasn't sure what event to do but was persuaded to run the 1 Mile race and easily won that in a fast 4:36.9 - a new Under 17 Club Record.

Under 17 Owen Williams set an early season mark in the 400m of 57.7. Moving up to the age group, Patrick Cullen set a new PB of 2:13.8 in the 800 and both Liam Ellis and Jonathan Foster featured in the 3000m. Jonathan had a better run than at Wigan last week, clocking 10:42.2. Liam looked strong and maintained a good pace throughout to finish 2nd in 10:14.8.

In the Under 20s, Jordan Kelly ran in both the 100m and the 200m. He knocked a tenth off his 100m PB to 11.8 and two tenths off his 200m time to 23.5.

Danny Driver was outstanding in the 400m hurdles. He finished 3rd but his time of 61.6 was a new PB by a significant margin - from 65.0 and last year's season's best of 68.3.

Finally, Chris Honess was our only Senior. He ran 27.3 in the 200m which I believe is a massive new PB from 28.0 secs.

17 April 2011: Ben Johnson smashes over 20 minutes off his marathon PB (by Mark Ashby)

As ever, it was a day of mixed fortunes for the Southport Waterloo runners competing in the 31st London Marathon.  Following his win at the South Yorkshire Half Marathon, there was little doubt that Ben Johnson would be leading the way for the club on Sunday.  However, few would have expected him to race around the streets of London in such a quick time.  Exceeding his own expectations, Ben flew around the course, racing down the Mall to finish in a superb 2.35.52.   Ben's split times make impressive reading too.  He judged his pace to perfection, running a negative split to finish in 99th position.  This was the fastest SWAC time since Rob Berry's 2.33 in 2003 and with the records being updated following Sunday's race, looks like being good enough to put Ben at the top of the U23 UK marathon rankings.

Rick Bowker, who has moved up an age group since last year's event was looking to improve by just a few minutes to record sub 2.45. With Chris Dunn and Anna Lupton also in the sort of form that could see them run close to this time, an interesting battle looked to be on the cards.  Peter Roome and I finished within seconds of each other at the Liverpool half just three weeks ago and were both looking to break the three hour mark.

Despite planning to take it easy at the start - it didn't work out that way and I got my customary fast start!  Ben was the first to ease past me after a mile or so but, it wasn't until 9 miles when Rick swept by, comfortably in the sub 2.45 pace group and looking good that I questioned the wisdom of my early pace.  However, it did at least give me the opportunity to see how the race was panning out first hand.  Anna Lupton was the next to pass me at around 10 miles also looking very comfortable having judged her early pace well.  As I settled into the race I felt ok - struggling through a few bad patches - and picking the pace up again when I could.  Chris Dunn, another who seemed to have stuck to his race plan passed me at around 17 miles.   My worst stage came between 18 and 21 - it felt hot and I worried my fast early pace would come back to haunt me - but I was running a decent pace again as I emerged from Blackfriars tunnel at 24.  Feeling good over the last few miles where the crowds along the Embankment and Birdcage Walk give you a huge lift, I crossed the line in 2.55.06 to complete my 17th consecutive London Marathon.

Rick's race hadn't gone quite to plan, like me he had gone through a few bad patches that had cost him dearly and he missed his target time but still finished in a speedy 2.49.40 for 13th placed V50.   Chris Dunn achieved a PB - breaking the three hour mark for the first time in style. His tough training regime paid off and he took over 13 minutes off his previous best to finish in 2.50.35.  Not far behind me was Peter Roome who just dipped under the three hours 2.59.32.   I passed Anna at around 24, clearly struggling, her transition from mountain racing to road marathon hadn't gone smoothly. Frustratingly, she finished 2 seconds the wrong side of 3 hours.

It was a good day for Paul Cain who ran a PB - 3.21.23.  Joanne Wilson was next across the finish line in 3.31.22, closely followed by Rachel Jacks in 3.45.22.  Keith Lunt was going well but the wheels appear to have come off in the later stages of his race and he completed the course in 3.48.09.  Chris Cutner 4.09.18 and Nick Sinclair 4.56.04 both ran faster than they had hoped for.

10 April 2011: Flurry of PBs at Wigan Open

With the track & field season now getting under way, 13 club athletes - all runners - took part in the Wigan Spring Open at Robin Park Arena on Sunday. On a warm spring day with little wind, the conditions were good - but perhaps hotter than the middle and distance runners would have wanted. Five runners achieved early season PBs; Sally Laughton, Emma Alderson, Ellie Roberts, Drew Warnock-Dumbell and Graham Boreham. And both Emma Alderson and Ellie Roberts achieved grade 3 standards.

In the short sprints, Sally Laughton opted for a 75m and ran a PB 12.4, a half second improvement. Over 100m, there were loads of races, five featuring our runners. Under 13s Lily Edwards and Charlotte Lockie, active members of our sportshall athletics team, put in good performances, Lily finishing 2nd in her race in 15.1 and Charlotte running 16.4 secs. But our fastest Under 13 was Emma Alderson who was 3rd in her race in 15.0. Specialist sprinter Drew Warnock-Dumbell equalled his previous best, winning his Under 15 boys' race in 12.2 secs. In the Under 15 girls' race, Ellie Alderson ran 14.5 secs.

Over 200m, at the end of a very long day's athletics, middle distance runners Graham Boreham and Ellie Roberts ran the fastest times; Graham in a PB 27.1 and Ellie in a PB 29.9. Ellie Alderson ran 30.0 and Under 13s Lily Edwards and Charlotte Lockie ran 31.4 and 32.2.

Three of our runners ran 800m, two recording PBs and grade 3 times. Under 13 Emma Alderson, a natural distance runner, ran 2:39.5, significantly faster than her 2:45 at Warrington the week before. Ellie Roberts has improved immensely over the past year or so and ran 2:25.5, a 4 secs improvement on her previous best and just 2 secs off a grade 2 standard. Adam Gilmour ran 2:45.9.

Over 1500m, MIchael Panes knocked 14 secs off last year's best time with a fine run in 4:41.9. Gary Clark kept under 5 minutes, crossing the line in 4:59.9, and in the girls' race Lauren Clarehugh's 5:19.6 masks a fine run where, in warm conditions, she worked her way through the field of runners and finished strongly.

In the longest race of the day, Jonathan Foster also found the going hot over 3000m, finishing in 11:01.2.

The only field eventer on the day was Lily Edwards who cleared 3m 25 in the under 13 girls' long jump.

The next open meeting is at Wavertree next weekend, a jumps and throws meeting on Saturday and a young athletes and track meeting on Sunday. See Fixtures page for details.

Meanwhile Andrew Kershaw preferred the better competition expected at the Trafford Open Meeting at Stretford. Andrew did exceptionally well to win his 1500m race in a new PB time of 4:27.64. That's a second inside a grade 2 time and 14 seconds faster than his best from last year! Andrew has had a good cross country season and the benefit is already showing in track performances. Trafford results.

8 April 2011: Cross country runners collect their Mid Lancs trophies

It was a night for celebration for many of our cross country runners - particularly for the seniors who attended the annual Mid Lancs Cross Country presentation evening in Bamber Bridge.

I think this must be the club's best performance in the Mid Lancs Cross Country League. In addition to the 66 medals handed out to Southport Waterloo runners, we took possession - at least for the next 12 months - of the Under 15 Boys' trophy, the Women's Vet 45 trophy, the prestigious Men's championship trophy, the Men's 'B' team cup, the Men's Division 3 trophy and the Men's V40 trophy.

All that in addition to Joe Vis (U20 Men's gold), Sue Cooper (Women's V45 silver and Women's V55 gold), James Tartt (Senior Men's bronze), Richard Shearer (Men's V40 silver) and David Hamilton (Men's V40 bronze).

Congratulations to all winners on a thoroughly successful season.

I was talking to another League official at Beacon Park whose daughter is already asking what dates have been set for next season's cross country; the concern being to ensure annual holidays in the autumn avoid league dates. That just seems to me to sum up the passion so many of us have for the the Mid Lancs League!

Thanks to Steve Boreham for the photos reproduced here, taken at the presentation evening - and to all our team managers who worked so hard throughout the season. And thanks to all the runners who supported their club by making themselves available for League fixtures.

3 April 2011: Warrington Open (by Andrew Kershaw)

A few Southport Waterloo athletes travelled down to Warrington for the early April open medal meeting. It was a successful day on the whole with 3 silver medals, 1 gold, a grade 4 time and a grade 3 time between the 4 athletes.

In the u11 boys Ben Apps was 2nd in the 75m in 11.3. He won his 600m in a time of 1.59.5 and gained another silver medal in the Long Jump with 3.39m. All three performances were PBs!

There were two u13 girls competing, both in their first year of the age group. Emma Alderson came 6th overall from several heats in the 75m in 11.4. She came 5th overall in the 150m in 22.6 and recorded a grade 4 time when coming 11th overall in a series of high quality 800m heats in 2.45.4. Lily Edwards was 10th overall in the 75m in 11.8 and she also ran well in the 150m but it doesn't seem to be in the results.

Finally in the u15 boys Andrew Kershaw came 2nd in the 800m in a PB and grade 3 time of 2.11.0.
