11/06/2017 East Anglian League, Great Yarmouth details
Huntingdonshire AC's two-hour journey to Great Yarmouth for
the second East Anglian League meet was well rewarded as the Under 13 and Under
15 teams performed magnificently to stay on track for the grand final in
September.
The Under 13 Girls team are now two for two as they won
their second league meet in succession finishing on 113 points, 20 points ahead
of hosts Great Yarmouth and 27 points ahead of Norwich. Lizzy Harrison was in excellent form as she
won three individual A string events and also anchored the relay team to
victory and a new club record. In the
100m, Lizzie equalled her own club record of 13.5 secs which puts her in the
top 30 in the country. She won her 200m
race by almost a second in 28.2 secs and also comfortably placed first in the
long jump by over half a metre with a new personal best of 4.68m. This moves her up from 27th into the top 15
in the national rankings. Lizzy finished
off the meet by teaming up with Macy Taylor, Tamzin Digpal-Race and Daisy
Coulson-Bascombe to not only win the 4x100m by 30 metres but also remove close
to a second from the club U13G record with 55.8 secs. This was not a one-girl team as Lizzie was
superbly back up in the sprints by Macy who won the B string 100m in 14.0 and Daisy
who took victory in the 200m B string race with 29.1 secs. Macy picked up another win in the A string
70m hurdles with a personal best 12.7 secs while Willow Bedding won the B
string race in 14.4 secs. Out in the
field, Tamzin cleared 1.25m for the A string high jump win while Charlotte
Smith placed first in the B string with 1.15m.
The Under 15 Boys were also in top form and but for a timing
conflict would have beaten Norwich to win the meet. In the event, they finished just six points
behind and still remain top of the league table. Having now recovered from injury which
prevented him competing in the county championships, Julian Priest returned
with a bang as he consolidated his 4th place in the national rankings by
winning the A string 200m in a club record-equalling 23.2 secs. He returned later to win the A string 300m in
37.1 secs, a mere 0.1 secs from his own club record which places him 5th in the
country. In the 80m hurdles, Joe
Purbrick brought his best down by a huge half a second to win in 12.2 secs
which sees him enter the national top 25.
Joe wasn't finished yet as he won the A string high jump with 1.40m with
Ayo Opaleye taking the B string win with the same height. At the tail end of the meet, Julian, Joe and
Ayo linked up with Elliot Mortimer to narrowly beat Norwich in the 4x100m in
50.5 secs. In the A string hammer throw,
Thomas Smith improved on his best by close to two metres to win with 24.23m, a
distance which sees him enter the top 100 in the national rankings.
Despite a weakened team, the Under 15 Girls exceeded all
expectations by finishing second in the team competition. Their sole A string winner was Issy Wilkins
who took the 1500m by over 10 seconds with 5:11.6 but the underlying support by
the rest of the small team kept them on track for the grand final.
The Under 13 Boys finished 3rd with 84 points which
consolidates their top 8 placing in the league standings.
Three further club records also fell. In the Under 11 Boys 600m, Tom Waterworth
improved his best by 0.7 secs to win the race with 1:52.1. Andrea Linnell placed 5th in the Senior
Women's 100m with 13.9 secs but still reduced her veteran women's club record
by 0.6 secs. Moria Howard broke the 37-year-old
Under 11 Girls long jump club record of 3.78m set by Gillian Hassell in 1980 with
3.87m. Six club records at one meet is
probably a club record!
