London Heathside

[Paul Lemmon]

It was a relatively quiet weekend for Heathside, but as I now have the results of the final Young Athletes match of the season from the previous weekend I will start with them. As expected we finished 3rd on the day and 3rd in the final league table but there were some excellent performances, most notably from new member Xelia who broke the club U15 record in the Javelin and wasn’t far off doing so in the 800 Metres too. In fact the U15 Girls were our best age group with Selam also picking up 2 victories and getting close to the club record in the Discus. We picked up good points in the U15 Boys as well, especially in the throws where Colin had 2 victories on his comeback from a very long time off after last year’s broken leg. Amongst the U17s, Daniel and Miron had good wins in very hot conditions, though admittedly there were very few other competitors in either event, while the U13 Boys and Girls also performed well and picked up plenty of points.

As the week progressed Tony had a few more races out in Hungary and, although not picking up any more medals, will be very satisfied with his week’s work. Then moving on to the weekend there were several PBs, despite the warm conditions, at the Harlow 10 where Ricardo was our leading man. Finally last night Miron, Daniel and Alex got together again at Battersea to get a very good result against senior opposition in the 3 x 1 Mile relay. Results of these and other events as follows:

Congratualtion to Ken Heney who completed the Zurich Ironman last Sunday in an awesome time of just over 10 hours. Is this a club record? Time to dust off that bike!
