Northern Young Athletes League - Cudworth The Junior Boy's team from Richmond and Zetland Harriers competed at Cudworth, Barnsley, in the second match of the Northern Young Athletes League, Division One East, on Sunday 19th May. Due to a computer error/communications breakdown/Act of God (delete as appropriate), the results have just arrived. Only eleven athletes with their Manager, Coach and parents made the 2 hour journey south. They covered 28 out of 74 individual slots plus 1 out of 5 relays and finished the match in third place. There were A-string wins for Miles Metcalfe in the long jump, three for Sam Stanislaus in the 80m hurdles, high jump and shot plus the under 17 boys who ran a season’s best in the 4 x 100m relay.BOFRA series - Burton Leonard Fun Run Gary Bastow has had two more races in the BOFRA in recent weeks. Saturday 13th July he competed Highland Games Fell Race at Alva in Scotland, finishing 16th and 4th Vet and commenting on the steepness of the course - both uphill and downhill. On Sunday 21st the race was nearer and less severe and Gary was more competitive; Farleton Knot near Keswick, 8th place although again 4th Vet. Last Sunday, with several Seniors at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester (only spectating!), the Juniors took centre-stage at the Burton Leonard 2 mile Fun Run. On a very hot and over a hilly course, there were wins for Philip Fitzpatrick (1st male), Scarlett Gray (1st female), Jessica Gray, Sophie Broadway and Leanne Shaw (1st, 2nd and 3rd under 13 girls) plus Rebecca Shaw (1st under 9 girl) and all age-group winners received trophies. Lee Broadway completed the 10K, which started an hour later and, although he didn’t collect a trophy, his daughter Sophie says he’s a winner! mb 31/7/2002 |
