EYAL Match 2 - Chelmsford
Match 2 turned out to be our toughest match so far this season with many of our older athletes missing due to GCSEs and the 3Km and Steeple Chase Championships at Bedford. Our younger athletes stepped up well producing 56 PBs – 33 for the girls and 23 for the boys. This was the first time we had long hurdles in the EYAL. Several of our athletes stepped up to take on this challenge - Lena (30.2), Poppy (35.2) and Adam (29.2) in the U14 200mH, Margot 59.9 in the U16G 300mH and Kirstie 81.00 and Archie 63.0 in the 400mH.
We are currently 6th in the league 36 points behind Shaftesbury in 5th and 8.5 points ahead of Basildon in 7th. With our next 2 matches being at Biggleswade and Bedford we can hopefully consolidate on this position.
