Open Day is Great Success

Tuesday 8th June saw LBAC’s open day for Track & Field take place at Vandyke Upper School. The juniors, who are getting ready for the second East Anglian League meeting this weekend were bolstered on the night by ten potential new members adding to the 20-30 who already go on a regular basis. All participants were given the opportunity to do Long Jump, High Jump, Discus and Shot Putt with the older ones doing some track work too. Everyone semed to enjoy the evening before the dark clouds became to heavy and deposited a downpour as we were tidying up. read more

National Schools Cross-Country

With the end of March fast approaching, the only remaining the final remaining cross-country for any LBAC members was the National Schools Championships that took place this year in Heaton Park, Manchester on a very wet and miserable Saturday. (Some might say that it's always wet and miserable in Manchester, but not me!)

The National Schools is often considered to be the highest level of competition for the junior age groups because it pulls in kids from all the sports who may not run on a regular basis. With that in mind, simply qualifying is a great acheivement and one that two LBAC athletes can be proud of. Over the course of this season Billy Mead and Bryan Foulger have done an excellent job of being the stalwarts of the U15 team in all of the cross-countries, but with a school year between them and the schools agegroups being split differently, Bryan qualified as a top year Junior and Billy did particularly well to get into the Inter boys team a year young. read more
