The U13 boys relay team of Owen Drabwell, Patrick Clay, Henry Mead and Jamie Stancombe rounded off LBACs most successful team performance of the season so far at Luton.

 

It was great to see so many junior athletes competing with the team bolstered by athletes from the seniors who were just as willing to get stuck in and have a go!

 

The U13 girls team consisting of Jade Lindars, Izzi Bidlake-Hull, Becca Mead, Ellie Prophet, Bea Munday and Skye Longworth took the honours of the day coming 3^rd in their age group. Ellie battled hard in her 1500m experiencing the worst storm of the day and also having to compete against the U15 girls, all in her debut appearance. Bea and Skye had a fantastic day, again competing for the first time with victories for Bea in the Shot Putt and Javelin and a second for Skye in the Long jump. Becca performed well in the 100m and discuss with Jade continuing to improve achieving three personal bests in her events.

 

Owen Drabwell and Jamie Stancombe ran in a high calibre 1500m with Jamie narrowly beating Owen in 4^th position. Both athletes achieved PBs with Jamie smashing his by 12 seconds and Owen by 5 seconds. Henry Mead continues to improve with great efforts in 100m and long jump and Patrick Clay got a PB in the javelin.

 

Kirk Swann has recently joined the club and has wasted no time getting stuck in to events.  He competed in the maximum 3 events, achieving 2^nd place in the shot putt, and 3^rd in the javelin. Joe McGarry returned to the hurdles and had a superb result coming 2^nd with a PB. Charlie Mead had a very strong finish in the 800m and Lloyd Milliken earned important points in the 1500m and long jump.

 

Brian Foulger returned to his first event of the season having now moved up to the competitive U17 age group.  He achieved personal bests in the high jump and triple jump. Billy Mead got a PB in the shot and Stephen Fuller put in good performances in the 100m and long jump.

This was the largest senior team entered for some time with the senior men achieving 4^th position.Nat Kimble had her best result of the season with victory in the closely fought Shot Putt.

Thank you to all the athletes competing and adults who helped officiate on the day, there were plenty of smiles despite the weather!
