Four Bedford and County athletes travelled to Norwich to represent Cambridgeshire County Schools on Saturday 15^th June.  In awful weather conditions they all came away with medals.

Congratulations to Damian Larrington, who set an M40 Club Discus Record in the Eastern Masters Match last week with a throw of 37.98 metres.

Bedford & County claimed second in the annual Greensand Ridge Relay on Saturday 15 June.  What is normally a hot and dusty mid-summer trail run from Leighton Buzzard to Northill village turned into a 35 mile cross country mudfest in the wind and rain.  Run in a handicap format over 6 legs, the team of Ewan Wilson, Ellie Garraway, Sean Crawley, Charlie Palmer, Henry Taylor and Oliver Wilson started 33rd, overhauling 31 teams across 4 hours of racing to finish an agonizingly close 1min 51 secs behind the winners. Thanks to Andy Blair for logistics support on the day.  We’ll be back next year to try to go one better.

Congratulations to Sam Winters, who won the Southern Championships Senior 1500m title in 3:49.10 on Sunday 9th June at Eaton!

At the British Milers Club Grand Prix in Watford on Saturday 8th June Tia Wilson was fifth in the Women's 5000m A Race in a new PB of 15:39.49 - this is 19 seconds quicker than Tia has run before, and moves her up to 17th place in this year's UK Rankings.  Well done Tia.

Ben Davis returned an encouraging 3:46.73 in winning the Men's 1500m D race.  There was a 3:49.85 1500m from Jack Goodwin, a 14:19.88 5000m from Ed Blythman and a 14:35.92 5000m from Noah Campion.
