Sprint Queens - [5th Mar 2010]
This weekend sees the race of currently ranked on the power of 10 the fastest U15 Girls over 60m in Sussex. Forget the thriller in Manilla - this is the Sutton Showdown and all four are in the Type2b stable at Worthing Harriers. Beth Close 8.12secs ranked (3) in the SE, Sophie Spinner 8.13 (4), Georgie Hook 8.22 (7) and Anna Short 8.27 (8). Electronic timing will be needed to seperate the girls where you should be able to throw a wet sock over the four come the finish line.

Southern Indoor Championships - [20th Jan 2010]
On Sunday, packing a16 seater mini bus, the Sprints Squad travelled en masse, to the Southern 60m Championships at Lee Valley London.
Eight of the squad made the semi finals, Kelly Denyer (Senior Woman), Craig Dummer (Under 17 Man), Matt Ranger (Under 15 Boy), and Under 15 Girls, Beth Close, Georgie Hook, Sophie Spinner, Anna Short. Of this last group, Beth won her semi-final and qualified for the Final. Sophie, Georgie and Anna all achieved second places in their semis and, whilst Sophie qualified for the Final as a fastest loser, Georgie missed out by just two hundredths of a second. It was nearly a Final with half the contestants from one club, Worthing Harriers.
During the rounds progressing to the final, Beth and Sophie broke the club 60m record three times. Beth now holds the record, having won her semi in 8.12s.
Unfortunately, our girls were eased out of the medals - Beth finishing fourth and Sophie in sixth place. All four girls now have the qualifying standard for the National Championships at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham next month.
Besides Beth, Sophie and Georgie, personal bests were achieved by Craig, Matt and Archie Istead, who only missed a place in the semi-finals by one hundreth of a second.

Competiton for "News Flash" and photograph of the week? - [9th Jan 2010]
Even though the track is closed, due to the severe weather, winter training continues for Alan Denyer`s Type2B squad, even in the snow. Hardy members of the squad turned up for their normal Saturday morning training session and experienced resistance running on the snow. It is becoming noticeable that the girls are hardier than the boys, when it comes to training! The girls turn out for training in the worst the British climate can throw at them and their commitment is a credit to the club. The squad is currently training for the Lea Valley Indoor 60m sprint, due to be held on Sunday 17th January. Whilst this will be a challenging day, competing against the best in the country, it will provide them with some early season competition and, hopefully, some PBs. |
