Record equalling WADAC Weekend at the South of England indoor age group champs

10 medals won by athletes in black & gold.

Well that was quite a weekend just gone as WADAC young athletes turned out in force at Lee Valley in North London to win no fewer than 10 medals at the South of England indoor age group (U13,U15,U17) Champs. This is the same number as the record breaking championships of 2022.

Saturday was the turn of the 60m sprints, the 60m hurdles and the U13 age groups. Rebekah Smith (coach Dave McManus) had a weekend to remember becoming the first WADAC U17 athlete to go under 9 secs by running 8.96 secs in her semi-final breaking the clubs age group indoor club record. Rebekah was 6th in her final but her semi-final time will be some consolation to her. Jess Howells (coach Andy Fisher) ran a pb of 9.27 secs to come 5th in her semi-final. In the U15 girls hurdles, Lily Flute (coach Andy Fisher) ran a superb final to claim the bronze medal with a fast finish off the last hurdle. Her pb time of 9.33 secs good enough for 2nd place in the clubs all time age group indoor lists.

In the 60m sprints, in the U17W age group Gracie Osman (coach Andy Fisher) & Isobel Jordan (coach Andy Fisher) both ran pb’s. For the U15’s Holly Poore (coach Dave Sherry) was 6th in her heat and for the U13’s Holly Crook (U13 academy) was 5th in her heat and Mia Gligorovski (coach Andy Fisher) made the semi-finals going to 2nd on the clubs all time age group lists in doing so. For the boys, in the U13 age group Toby Gardner (coach Andy Fisher) made the final with his time of 8.28 secs going 2nd on the clubs all time age group lists with Declan Dew (coach Andy Fisher) making the semi-finals and his time of 8.54 secs was good enough for 3rd place on the clubs all time indoor age group lists. Remarkably, Declan will be back in the same age group next year.

In Saturday’s U13G 800m semi-finals both Hallie Eldridge (coach Andy Fisher) & Frankie Bertacchini (coach Andy Fisher) qualified for the final but needed to come back the next day to run it.

In Saturday’s U13 field events, the club had amazing sucess. Declan broke the clubs age group indoor club record by putting the shot 6.77m to take the bronze medal. It was even better in the shot in the U13 girls age group with the club recording a podium 1-2-3 and completing rewriting the clubs age group indoor records with Hallie taking gold, Mia Silver and Clarice Thorne-Henderson (coach Martin McBriar) taking bronze. For good measure, Franie was 4th and Holly Crook 6th. In the boys long jump, once more the clubs age group indoor club records were rewritten with Leo Davies Pratt (coach Andy Fisher) leaping 4.47m for 4th place, Declan jumping the same distance for 5th and Toby jumping 4.28m for 7th. Toby then took on the HJ which he won with a magnificent leap of 1.48m which was no less than a new championship best performance. Leo was 5th with a jump of 1.30m. For the girls, Hallie won HJ silver with a pb jump of 1.35m to go 2nd equal on the clubs age group indoor lists and Bo Hatchett (coach Andy Fisher) jumped 1.30m to win bronze. In the LJ, Frankie was 5th going 2nd on the clubs all time age group list with a leap of 4.13m. Lottie Osman (U13 academy) was 9th but will be back in the same age group next year, Bo was 11th and Holly Crook was 13th.

Medals were obviously going to be harder to come by in the older age groups yesterday and so it proved but there were some amazing performances.

Isobel Jordan ran a new indoor pb in her U17W 200m heat where Eldie Trott (coach Elias Mtshweni) did the same in the U15G age group.

Lily Flute suffered heatbreak as she was beaten to the U15G 300m title in the last stride but had the consolation of a new pb of 41.93 secs and going 2nd on the clubs all time age group indoor lists.

Zac Reynolds (coach Andy Fisher) won his U17M 400m semi-final in a new pb of 52.65 secs but the effort meant he couldn’t take his place in the final. Zac improves his time as 2nd on the clubs all time age group indoor lists. Chloe Poore (coach Andy Fisher) ran sub 60 secs to make the semi-finals of the U17W 400m and her time was good enough to 2nd on the clubs all time indoor lists

Thomas Jacobs (coach James Mann) just missed out on qualification for the U17M 800m final but absolutely smashed his pb with a time of 2 mins 3.99 secs and goes 2nd on the clubs all time age group indoor lists. Hallie won silver in the U13G 800m final (her 3rd medal of the champs) with Frankie in 5th and the girls went 1st & 2nd respectively in the clubs all time 800m age group lists.

In the field events, the everr reliable Gracie won another championship medal, this time taking silver in the U17W long jump with training partner Jess just missing out on the medals in 4th. In the U15 girls long jump Lily won her 3rd medal of the champs taking bronze with a new pb of 5.09m which was also good enough to go 3rd on the clubs all time age group lists, Poppy Crook (coach Andy Fisher) was 14th in her pool. Esme Buchanan (coach Andy Fisher) just missed out on a medal in the U15G HJ finshing 5th on countback although recording the same height (1.55m) as the girls in joint 2nd. Poppy was 13th with Anais Andrews (coach Andy Fisher) unfortunately no heighting.

In the U15 girls SP, Darcey Thorne-Henderson (coach Martin McBriar) was 5th going 2nd on the clubs all time age group lists, with Anais in 8th. In the U17W equivilent, Jess putted a new indoor pb of 10.71m for 5th and Gracie was 8th also with a new pb. Lexie Trott (coach Elias Mtshweni) broke the clubs female pole vault record going over 3m for the first time to finish 4th in the U17W age group.

All of this added up to 2 golds (Hallie & Toby), 4 silvers (Lily, Gracie, Hallie x 2) and 4 bronze (Clarice, Lily x 2, Dec)

Weekend Track & Field preview

The South of England Indoor age group (U13-U17) champs takes place tomorrow and on Sunday at Lee Valley in North London and the club will be hoping its athletes can bring back some silverware.

The champs have been a rich source of medals over the last couple of years with the clubs athletes winning 11 in 2022 and 9 last year and with some talented athletes taking part across hurdle, run, jump & throw it should be another great champs for the black and gold vests.

Elsewhere, two WADAC athletes appear on the start lists at the indoor open meeting in Loughborough.

Abi finishes 7th at Nationals

Abi Belward (coach Andy Fisher) put in a fine performance at the first indoor national champs of the year, the national indoor combined events Senior & U20 champs in Sheffield on Saturday.

Competing on her 17th birthday and in a national champs as an U20 for the first time and therefore over the senior specifications Abi started the day with a pb of 9.60 in the 60m hurdles good enough for 11th place in the 19 woman field. Abi then jumped a 7cm pb of 1.63m in an oustanding High Jump performance which was the 3rd best on the day. Also 3rd best on the day was her shot where Abi putted 10.37m also for 3rd place and move her to 3rd place on the all time WADAC indoor rankings. Abi then had a disappointing long jump finishing 10th in the field with a leap of 5.12m and finished the day with an 800m of 2mins 34.58 secs which was 10th best on the day and all this added up to 7th place overall and 2nd in the Welsh U20 indoor combined events champs which took part as part of the same champs.

Abi’s points score of 3343 points moved her the 3rd place on the clubs all time indoor pentathlon rankings and she will be presented with her silver medal at the Welsh indoor individual champs in February.

Track & Field Weekend preview

Whilst others may be ploughing through mud, the first National indoor champs of the year takes place this weekend in Sheffield in the shape of the National U20 & Senior indoor Combined Events champs.

As is normal at all National champs these days, the club will be represented. On this occasion Abi Belward (coach Andy Fisher) will be wearing the black & gold and Abi will tackle the senior indoor pentathlon specifications for the first time.

There is also a plethora of indoor open meetings and by a quick check of the start lists, I can see WADAC athletes competeing at Carshalton tomorrow and in Eton on Sunday.

Lily breaks club record as 3 athletes shine at South of England Indoor Combined Event Champs

The first championship event of the indoor track & field season took place at the Lee Valley athletics arena in North London at the weekend.

The South of England Combined Event Champs feature all age groups from U15 upwards and WADAC were represented by Gus Bowden competing in his first ever multi-event competition in the U20 age group and by Anais Andrews and Lily Flute in the U15 girls age group. All 3 athletes are coached by Andy Fisher as part of his young athletes multi-event groups.

No fewer than 5 indoor top 3 all time age group performances were recorded with all 3 athletes getting their names on the list and Lily breaking an indoor age group club record.

Gus had a great competition finishing 9th overall and going 3rd on the clubs all time indoor age group heptathlon lists with his highlight being a 1.84m high jump which won the HJ event and put him joint 3rd on the clubs indoor all time U20 high jump list alongside Jack Bolton. Gus jumped over his own height which for a decathlete is a benchmark of a really strong high jump performance.

Lily topped the WADAC girls coming 5th overall. This included a strong start in the 60m hurdles where Lily’s time of 9.46 secs was good enough to go 2nd on the clubs all time age group indoor lists but her best performance came in the last event the 800m where she won by half a lap in a time of 2 mins 25.96 secs to break Poppy Taylor’s age group indoor club record.

Anais Andrews came 9th overall but had her own celebrating to do as she acheived a massive 21cm pb in the high jump to jointly win this event with a jump of 1.56m which is good enough to put Anais 2nd on the clubs all time age group indoor HJ list.

Weekend Track & Field preview

I can’t quite believe that just 9 weeks after the clubs last Open Meeting here we are at the start of the indoor track & field season.

The season starts with the first championship event of the season, the South of England indoor Combined Event Champs at their traditional home at Lee Valley in North London. Moved this year from the end of December to 1 month earlier there are going to be some rusty athletes on display but nevertheless the black and gold of WADAC vests will of course be represented over the course of the two day event.

Good luck to those WADAC athletes taking part.

Alex takes Commonwealth Youth Games bronze

In thrilling finish

Alex Beck (coach Mark Upton) snatched the bronze medal in a dramatic finish to the mens 400m at the Commonwealth youth games in Trinidad yesterday. Running in lane 6, Alex was locked in a battle for the medals down the home straight with Nigerian Samuel Ogazi well clear of the field. Guyanese athlete Malachi Austin moved ahead for silver but Alex battled all the way to the finish and his dip for the line just caught the indian athlete Navpreet Singh. Both given the same time, Alex timed his lean to perfection and was rewarded with a bronze medal and a place on the podium that he will remember for the rest of his life.

Annie Mann (coach James Mann) has not felt at her best since being in Trinidad and this was reflected in her performance in the final of the womens 1500m where her time clearly reflected all was not well. Annie finished in 8th place but this should not distract from the winner Nancy Cherop from Kenya who broke the games record in taking the gold medal.

Annie's games are over in terms of competing but Alex will be back in action in the early hours of tomorrow morning where he will contest the semi finals of the mixed 4 x 400m relay with his England teammates.
