U17/U20 Vs Croydon AC, Herne Hill Harriers, Kingston AC & Polytechnic Harriers, Sutton & District AC and Walton AC

Congrats to everyone who competed at the second YDL upper age group match of the season, we performed excellently finishing 2nd just 15.3 points behind the winners Croydon which potentially could have been made up if the 4x300m and 4x400m relays weren’t cancelled.

Conditions weren’t the best with strong winds throughout the day as thunder causing a delay midway through day and then cancelling the last few events. Nobody let this stop them with the shot putters continuing throughout the thunder in the pouring rain and then our 200m runner were ready to go with only a 10 minute warm up as it was the first races after the break due to thunder. Hopefully for the final match we will have better conditions where the full timetable can go ahead and we hope to set a new u17 women’s 4x300m club record.

Many thanks to all who competed, volunteered and our team managers John and Trevor. Hope to see you all again at Walton on the 5th of September for the last match of the season.
