15/07/2017  British Athletics League, Bedford  details
Richard Phelan reports: I competed for Bedford at the BAL Big Saturday, where all five divisions of the British athletics league compete at the same venue on the same day. B-string pole vault in wet and windy conditions did not help, but managed 3.20m for 4th in the B-string. Quite a few top class athletes on show today, so a bit awestruck to be competing with so many GB internationals.

Our young athletes performed superbly at the English Schools Championships. In the Senior Boys 2000m Steeplechase, Joey Croft won the silver medal! Fantastic! And he still has another year to go in this age group. He was timed at 5:58.80 which ranks him 3rd in the nation. This also beat his club Under 20 Men and Senior Men's club records and was also faster than the Under 20 Men's and Senior Men's club records for the FLAT 2000m! Congratulations, Joey. Hunts AC is proud of you. In the Junior Boys 200m, Julian Priest won the silver medal! Fantastic! Julian won his first round heat in 23.16 before placing 2nd in the semi-finals in a new club record of 22.77 secs. Onto the final where Julian was just one-hundredth of a second away from winning the English Schools Championship gold medal. This gained him the silver medal, broke the club record with 22.49 and places him 2nd in the national rankings just one-hundredth away from being the number one 200m sprinter in the nation! Two years ago, Julian's PB was 29.3 secs. Congratulations Julian, Hunts AC is proud of you.
