Northern Inter-Club Knock Out Plate 26th June 2004Saturday 26th June and the Seniors took part in the first round of the Northern Inter-Clubs Knock-out Plate at Eastbourne Sports Complex, Darlington. The Plate ran alongside the Cup competition, for Clubs from higher Divisions, which was a blessing as the expected competition from Hartlepool and North Shields didn’t materialise. Although the result was never in doubt, the Club enjoyed a good match against Durham, Morpeth, Mandale and Border Harriers, four Clubs from Divisions 1 and 2, with new boy Simon Raseru managing both sprints and both horizontal jumps before anchoring the 4 X 100m relay team. RZH now have another date in the diary, against the best of the rest from the North, in the Knock-out Plate Final at Cudworth on Sunday 29th August.

On Wednesday 30th, Neil Piper was the lone Harrier in the Otley 10 mile Road Race. He wrote “I did scrape under 80 minutes last night…79.23 by my watch, yet another PW (personal worst) by almost 4 minutes…but first counter for RZH anyway!”
Young Athletes League Wakefield, 27th June 2004
Sunday 27th June and a coach-load of Juniors with their parents and Club Officials also journeyed south, but only as far as Thornes Park Athletic Stadium, Wakefield, for their third YAL fixture. Numbers were up on previous fixtures and the team included seven Under 15 Girls, who missed winning their gender age group by just a single point, plus six Under 17 Boys who all-but-matched the opposition from Wakefield, Harrogate and Cleethorpes. Unfortunately another defeat was inevitable, with just eight more athletes across the remaining four gender age group, but there were winning performances from several Harriers - most notably Lindsey Johnson, Yorkshire Schools Champion, who won all her three events, the shot, javelin and high jump, bettered her old javelin mark by a single centimetre, a Grade 2 performance, and was named “Athlete of the Match”. There was an A and B-string double for Ruth Hill and Alice Morrison in the 70m hurdles; Rory Wadsworth took 2 seconds off his PB in the 200m; Katie Roberts and Jane Thornton had A and B-string wins in the 1500m and sisters Jo and Rosie Adams did likewise in the discus; Jessie Roberts was a clear winner in her 1500m; Simon Robson and Chris Archer were also A and B-string winners in their 1500m races and sprinter Sean Osborn added nearly a metre to his PB in the shot.
RZH results: Under 13 Girls - Ruth Hill 75m 10.9, 150m 22.1 & 70m hurdles 14.0; Alice Morrison 75m 11.9, 70m hurdles 14.0 & long jump 3m52: Under 13 Boys - Tom Osborn 100m 16.4 & 200m 32.9; Rory Wadsworth 100m 15.1, 200m 30.6 & 800m 2:47.1: Under 15 Girls - Jo Adams 800m 2:33.3, discus 24m01 & javelin 13m44; Rosie Adams 800m 2:42.6 & discus 16m75; Sophie Broadway 100m 13.4 & 200m 27.1; Lindsey Johnson shot 8m79, javelin 28m97 & high jump 1m48; Katie Roberts 75m hurdles 15.3, 1500m 5:41.5 & shot 5m73; Leanne Shaw 100m 14.0, 200m 28.6 & long jump 4m08; Jane Thornton 75m hurdles 16.0, 1500m 5:41.5 & long jump 3m63; 4 x 100m relay 53.9: Under 15 Boys - Shane Darby 200m 25.6, long jump 5m01 & high jump 1m45; Nick Outhwaite pole-vault 2m15, discus 12m65 & shot 5m19; Doug Roberts 400m 65.5, discus 18m91 & javelin 10m42: Under 17 Girls - Jessie Roberts 300m 48.0, 1500m 5:14.1 & javelin 11m38: Under 17 Boys - Chris Andrade javelin 22m30; Chris Archer 400m 63.2, 800m 2:24.2 & 1500m 4:54.4; Marcus Clarke 100m 12.5, 200m26.2 & triple jump 10m85; Philip Fitzpatrick 1500m steeplechase 5:09.3, discus 17m83 & long jump 4m80; Sean Osborn 100m 12.5, discus 18m31 & shot 8m16; Simon Robson 1500m 4:39.9, 1500m steeplechase 5:15.9 & long jump 4m44; 4 x 100m relay 52.0 & 4 x 400m relay 4:08.5:
