The sprint production line at Edge Hill
College continues to churn out major championship successes. At
Birmingham in the AAA of England Championships Harry Doran was
barely a few steps away from collecting the 400m Under 15 title in
50.82. His silver medal performance hoisted him to the top ten on
the all time list.
Liverpool Pembroke Sefton colleague
Nathan Hilton was another finalist finishing 6th in the Under 15
200m in 23.48. Elsewhere in the Under 17 heats there were other
excellent performances. Alex Stokes recorded an 11.36 100m and a
23.18 200m. Jack McGinn went out but with a fine 400m time of 50.9.
Also eye-catching was Sam Hutchinson with a splendid 1.57.03
clocking in the 800m.
The senior men and women went to
Streford for the closing match of the season in the second division
of the Northern League. Here the outstanding performance was the
shattering of the club 4 x 400m relay record. Kieran McGing (50.0),
Sam Hutchinson(50.3), Phil Taylor(48.4) and Michael Rimmer(47.1)
chopped a massive three seconds of the previous best with 3.15.8.
All this without Northern champion Mark Grimshaw who was injured.
Overall the team was 2nd and now go forward confidently to the
qualifying match for the Premier League at Cleckheaton on September
10th.
