Aidan John made it into the sem-final of the U17 60m with a club record equalling performance of 7.10. Impressively Aidan then equalled the club record a second time in the semi-final – the club record (set in 1996!) is definitely living on borrowed time now!
Oliver Marchant also competed in the U17 60m running well to finish 5th in his heat in 7.50. Oscar Beattie produced a big PB in the heats of the U17 200m, his time of 23.12 knocked 0.38 off his previous best and qualified him for the semi-final. In the semi-final Oscar backed up his performance with his second fastest time ever 23.16!
Bexley Turbard competed in the U20 pole vault and produced a seasons best clearance of 3.90 for 13th.

Phenomenal start to the year, how much quicker will Alastair go?! ]]>

Kaitlyn has also run 4:43.22 for the mile indoors last month, while no official indoor mile record exists for the club this is a massive 9 seconds below the outdoor record so can assumed to be a club best!
