London Heathside

[Paul Lemmon]

The main event of the weekend was the final match of the season for our Young Athletes team. Although they couldn’t match their excellent win in the previous match they performed well again to finish a solid 3rd and confirm themselves as 3rd in the league. The full results aren’t available yet however so they will have to wait until next week. Pride of place this time therefore goes to Tony Killilea, who travelled to somewhere totally unpronounceable and picked up a bronze medal in the Steeplechase in the European Veterans Champs with what I believe was a huge PB. Wonderful stuff!

Closer to home, there were also some good performances at the LICC match at Lee Valley. Sue and Leigh both ran PBs in their main event while Mike also managed at least 1 season’s best. It’s good to see Jean-Paul getting his speed back too after going to the other end of the running scale by doing the Brighton Marathon in April. Results that I do have are as follows:
