The club's U17 and U20 athletes, who compete in a combined team with neighbouring club London Heathside, continue to reach new highs this season securing a comfortable 2nd place in the second UYDL meeting hosted at the weekend by Kingston AC & St Mary’s. This was achieved without filling many of the endurance events. Many athletes stepped up to compete in both track and field events.
Highlights of the day included Gabrielle Johnson’s victory in the U20W 400m with Ely Angel Da Silva winning the B race. In the U17 Men Bradley Baka secured a win in the 200m which he followed with a 3rd place in the 400m. There was great representation in the U17W age group with crucial points picked up across all the events including Anna Koshevaya (100m & LJ), Aliyah Osman (200m, Discus), Michelle Onukegbe (Javelin, Shot) and Monisade Ayodeji (300mH, Javelin).
The day was rounded off with some great relay running with the team winning both U20 4x100m relays, while the U17 Men won their 4x100m the U17 Women won the 4x300m.
With Brighton & Hove, who won the first match, slipping to 5th place we find ourselves 2nd in the League with just one match to go and potential promotion to the 1st Division in our own hands.
Well done to all the athletes and team managers Sonia and Juliette.
The last meeting, which we will be co-hosting, will be at Finsbury Park on Sunday 6th July.
