Vets League – Match 2

Women’s 5000m

Match 2 was held at Tilsley Park on Wednesday 20th May. There was a stiff breeze which made for ‘interesting’ conditions, but our athletes gave a very good account of themselves on the night.

Provisional results are in, and subject to final confirmation the following athletes have set either New Club Records, or replaced existing records in their age categories:

Clare Hazell W55 had a fantastic evening, clocking a new PB for 200m which also replaces Kathryn Leech’s club record for 200m set in 2022. Clare also replaced Marion Jones’s 800m club record from 1994, and set a new club record for 5000m.

Ruth Dooley in her first Vets League event set PBs in W35 800m and 5000m.

Kerry Wilkinson’s triple jump was a PB and new club record in W35.

Kathryn Leech’s Shot Put set a new club record in W60.

Jason Heywood set a PB in 200m M40.

Our track athletes all appear to have flying feet! The training is paying off!

Thanks as ever to our field officials – Bruce Charles, Gareth Smith, Kathryn Leech and Richard Jegou.

Many thanks to Martin Smith for taking the photos – sorry he couldn’t get shots of all our athletes/each event. Make sure you sign up for the Match 3 also at Tilsley Park on Thursday 18th June.
