Sussex Track and Field Championships, May 10th and 11th.
The almost perfect weather conditions brought three championship records to Worthing Harriers. Kayley Alcorn opened the record breaking on the first afternoon of the Sussex Championships with a U20 Triple Jump championship record of 11.43m, thereby removing the record held for four years by club mate Emma Perkins. Kayley was also to win the 100m hurdles in 15.3 and to share the high jump title with Eastbourne's Sarah Moore, clearing 1.55m.
Rachel Ogden beat the 25 year old championship record for sen. women 800m in a time of 2 min.6.6 sec to take her to 12th in the U.K. rankings. Winning the 1500m on Saturday in 4 min.27.7sec. had left Rachel disappointed with her time but she bounced back in the 800m with a record run!
Adding a remarkable seven metres to his previous best in the U15 boys hammer, Robert Duke refusing to be overshadowed by his mother Alison and sister Laura who had already collected several medals, he took the gold adding some five metres to the mark that had been held by Nick Harding for seven years. Full results of the Championships to follow.
