wins galore at Swansea in the NYAL match at Swansea
TeamBath A.C. travelled to the super new track in Swansea for the final NYAL match of the season. Although the results computer had a glitch and could not provide final match results, we think we were just pipped for second place, behind host club Bridgend, by the combined Yeovil, Wells and Taunton team. The Club were given a brilliant start by Alastair Todd, who won the first race of the day, the U/17 mens 400m hurdles in 61.5, then won the high jump with a new personal best of 1m75, an improvememt of 10 cm and finally led the U/17 mens 4 by 400m relay team to victory in the final event of the day. Fast improving U/13 girl Olivia Wood, who recently set a SWAL League record in the discus, achieved on of the few Grade 1 performances of the day, this time winning the 70 m hurdles in 12.0 with Tuesday Jeffries winning the B event in 14.3. Olivia also won the B event 75m and 150 m with Katie Geddes winning both A events. The Dixon sisters then teamed up to take maximum points in the U/13 1,200m with Emily winning the A race in 4.11.1 and Alice the B race in 4.53.2. Emily also won the long jump with 4m31. In the U/15 girls 1,500m Colette McCambridge and Alex Stainthorpe took maximum points win 5.07.6 and 5.30.9. In the U/17 events, Ruth Dean and Amy Longo proved unbeatable with Ruth winning the 100m A in 12.6, the 200m A in 26.1 and the 300m A in 43.0 with Amy winning the 100m B in 12.9 and the 200m B in 26.5. Marcie Bower won the 800m A in 2.28.9 and Gemma Young the shot with 9m65. All four girls then teamed up to win the 4 by 100m relay. In the U/17 mens events, the Club again dominated the sprints with Romaine Hyman and George McCaw winning both A and B 100m and 200m, Romaine in 11.6 and 23.6 and George in 11.7 and 24.0 with Sam Otto winning the 400m in 52.6. Other B winner was Marcie Bower in the javelin with 14m20.

The day started and finished on a high note with victory in both the first and last races of the day. The day opened with a win for Sam Leadbetter in the U/17 400m hurdles in 63.1 and finished with an unlikely win for the senior mens 4 by 100m relay team of George McCaw, Craig Bridges, Ollie Bower and Tim Howell in 47.5. In between there were a number of other victories, many of which I do not have details for. Among the track A winners were Romaine Hyman in the U/17 mens 100m in 11.5, Ruth Dean in the U/17 100m in 12.7 and 200m in 26.1, Drew Goodchild in the U/15 400m in 54.8 with Joshua Ridewood winning the B race in 57.3 and Marcie Bower in the U/17 800m with Annie Ingram, moving up and age group, in second (no times). Field winners included Michael Gardner in the U/13 boys high jump with Im35, Olivia Woods in the U/13 girls discus with 17m27 with Tueday Jeffries winning the B event with 11m53. B event winners were Sarah Neate in the U/15 girls 100m in 13.6, Laura Smith, moving up an age group, to win the U/17 100m B in 13.5, Alstair Todd in the U/17 400m in 54.8, A.Geddes in the U/13 boys javelin with 15m38 and Tess Brunton in the U/15 girls long jump with 4m37. Second A places went to Abi Davies (U/15 girls 100m in 13.5 and 200m in 28.2), Katie Geddes (U/13 girls 200m in 29.2), Dave Coales (SM 5,000m in 17.32.1), Liam Gardner (U/15 boys high jump with 1m55), Anna Alexander- Holmes (U/15 girls long jump with 4m70), Olivia Woods (U/13 girls long jump with 4m04), Ollie Bower (SM 1,500m in 4.21.1) Tom Beer (U/17 1500m in 4.34.1) Gareth Davies (U/13 boys 1500m in 5.00.7). Second B places went to Tuesday Jeffries (U/13 girls long jump with 3m76), Reuben Bower (SM1,500m in 4.22.9) and Sarah Neate (U/15 girls 200m in 28.2). Apologies to all athletes I have missed, the results were hard to come by. Full results should be available next week.
The NYAL match scheduled to take place at Cardiff next Sunday will now take place at Swansea. This will mean an earlier start from Bath. Maps will be available on Tuesday.

medals for Club athletes at English Schools at Gateshead last weekend
The Club had its largest representation ever at English Schools at Gateshead at the weekend and came back with its best ever haul of medals. Pride of place went to Simon Merrill (Avon)who made up for his disappointment at being unfairly overlooked for selection to the World Junior Championships in Poland, by winning the Senior Boys 110m hurdles title in 14.11 seconds, following his heat win in 14.11 seconds. Silver medal went to Chloe Hillier (Wilts) in the Senior Girls high jump with a jump of 1m63, equalling her season's best. Bronze medals went to Laura Maddox (Avon)in the Senior Girls 400m in 56.65, following a heat win in 56.27, a personal best, Danny Talbot (Wilts)in the Senior Boys 200m in 21.85 also following a PB in a heat in of 21.71 and Laura Butcher (Wilts)who took bronze in the Inter Girls pole vault with 2m80. Other performances were Andy Minchin (Avon)11th in the Junior Boys triple jump with 11m69, Joe Hutchinson (Wilts)4th in the semi of Inter Boys 200m in 22.82 (22.61 in heat), Sam Otto 8th (Wilts)in the semi of Inter Boys 400m in 51.97 (51.16 in heat, a PB), Heather Cumming (Wilts)5th in the Inter Girls high jump with 1m68, Ruth Dean (Avon)4th in heat in the Inter Girls 100m in 12.46, Natasha Lewis (Avon) 8th in the Inter Girls long jump with 5m19, Amy Longo (Wilts) 4th in heat in Inter Girls 200m in 25.81, Gemma Young (Wilts) 11th in Inter Girls shot with 9m86, Jonathan Forester (Avon) 7th in heat of Senior Boys 400m hurdles in 57.4 and Edward Mason (Wilts) 6th in Senior Boys high jump with 1m88.
Apparently the weather on the Friday was appalling so all credit to the athletes who competed in the rain, especially those who produced a PB.

league records and wins at Braunton in the SW league on Sunday
TeamBath A.C. travelled to Braunton on Sunday and returned with five new league records and 27 wins. Among the new league records was the one claimed by Annie Ingram in the U/15 girls 1,500m with a new record of 5.10.5, with Colette McCambridge also breaking the old record in second in 5.15.9 and Alex Stainthorpe completing the clean sweep in third in 5.28.6. These performances were all the more worthy because there was a very strong wind all day, which did not help the distance runners at all. Other new track League records went to Romaine Hyman in the U/17 mens 200m winning in 23.1 with George McCaw in second in 23.4 and Sam Otto completing another clean sweep in third in 23.8 and the U/17 mens 4 by 100m comprising the above 3 plus Lui Pollastrone in 46.0.

Had Danny Talbot elected to compete as an U/20 instead of a senior, he would have broken both 100m and 200m records but as it was, he came close in both events, winning the senior mens races win 10.7 and 21,8 respcectively. Another double winner was Laura Smith who won the U/15 girls 100m and 200m in 13.0 and 26.8.
Other track winners were Lucy Beer in the senior womens 400m hurdles in 71.4, Chris Gallagher in the senior mens 1,500m in 4.25.7, Katie Geddes in the U/13 girls 200m in 29.2, Jack Miluk in the U/15 boys 1,500m in 4.56.6, Natasha Lewis in the U/17 200m in 26.5, George McCaw in the U/17 mens 100m in 11.2, new girls Amy Longo in the U/17 womens 100m in 12.6 and the relay teams in U/15 girls in 53.9, the U/15 boys in 53.3 and the senior men in 48.6 plus the record breakers in U/17 men.
Field event winners were Anna Alexander-Holmes who scored a double winning the U/15 girls shot with 7m38 and long jump with 4m38, ,Liam Gardner and brother Michael who won the U/15 and U/13 high jumps with 1m60 and 1m33 , Adrian Clover in the senior mens pole vault with 2m70, ,George Duffield in the U/17 mens long jump with 5m59, Natasha lewis in the U/17 womens long jump with 4m93 and Andy Minchin in the U/15 boys triple jump with 11m23 (all done into a strong headwind).
Second places went to Adrian Clover (SM 400m hurdles in 77.1), Alastair Todd (U/17 mens 400m hurdles in 65.2 and high jump with 1m65), Tom Beer (U/17 mens 3K in 10.03.2), Katie Geddes (U/13 100m in 14.1), Amy Longo (U/17 200m in 26.7), George Duffield (U/17 hammer with 24m07), Michael Gardner (U/13 long jump with 3m80) and Zoe Burke (u/15 discus with 17m29, just 1cm behind the winner). Third places went to Abi Davies (U/15 girls 100m in 13.1, Joshua Ridewood (U/15 boys 100m in 12.1), Olivia Woods (U/13 100m in 14.2), Harry Allen (U/15 200m in 25.0), new boy Aaron Bryan (U/13 boys 100m in 14.0 and 200m in 29.0), Steven Barber (SM 200m in 25.2), Liam Baker (SM200m in 28.0), Tuesday Jeffries (U/13 long jump with 3m57), Zoe Burke (U/15 shot with 6m53) and Sian Burke (U/17 discus with 21m58).

A footnote to last week's Avon League match at Yate. despite a very small team competing, the club broke two existing League records. Laura Smith broke the U/15 girls 300m which had previously stood to Ruth Dean ,winning in a new record time of 44.0 and Chloe Hillier, producing her best jump for several years, broke the senior womens high jump record with 1m63. Chloe, incidentally, still holds a number of U/15 records, including the Wilthire Schools and South West league records.

Avon League at Yate 15/6/08 and Midland U/20 Champs
Ed Mason won a silver medal at the Midland U/20 championships at Birmingham today with another 1m90 jump, the winner doing 1m95. It was a very cold, blustery day, unlike here at Yate.
A disappointingly small team contested the first Avon league at Yate on Sunday with only a handful of winners. Ruth Dean again proved unbeatable in the U/17 100m winning in 13.1. Chloe Hillier produced a season's best to win the senior womens high jump with 1m63 and Tuesday Jeffries won the U/13 girls high jump with 1m28. there were second A places for Laura Smith in the U/15 girls 100m in 13.7, Thalia Nasse in the U/13 girls 100m in 14.2, Katie Phillips in the U/15 girls high jump with 1m30 and javelin with 16m41 with Zoe Burke winning the B event with 11m? and Lui Pollastrone in the U/17 mens 800m in 2.13.0. Several new athletes who competed and impressed were Jacob Stephenson, Joel Gibson-Gleav and Giverney Paul. As usual a number of results are missing especially the later events.
I am still trying to get results from Avon and Wiltshire Schools Championships. I know we had a number of winners at both meetings. If anyone can supply me with times and distances from either meeting please do. I have a few from both meetings but not enough.

Winners at the TeamBath open Meeting on 11/6/08
Almost 100 athletes turned up for the first Wednesday evening open meeting held by TeamBath A.C for several years and many were rewarded with wins and/or personal bests. Host club winners were double winners Harry Allen who won the U/15 boys 100m and 200m in 12.6 and 26.7, Katie Phillips who won the U/15 girls shot and javelin with 6m56 and 15m45 and Bethany Gibson who won the U/20 womens long and triple jump with 4m32 and 9m53. Other track winners were Abi Davies in the U/15 girls 100m in 13.5 from training partner Laura Smith in 13.6 with Sarah Neate third in 13.7. Laura turned the tables in the 200m winning in 28.2. Ruth Dean, returning from injury, won the U/17 100m in 12.7 with Laura Maddox, dropping down a distance from her favoured 400m, to win the 200m in 25.9.Drew Goodchild continues to improve, winning the U/15 boys 400m in 55.1 , a new PB. In the field, wins for Edward Mason, Chloe Hillier, Rose Llewellyn and Tuesday Jeffries in the high jump with 1m90, 1m55, 1m35 and 1m30 respectively, Alex Hill in the U/15 boys javelin with 27m05 with Matthew Barnes in second place with 19m12, Andy Minchin in the U/15 boys triple jump with 11m27 with Matthew Barnes again in second with 8m19, Matthew Barnes in the long jump with 4m24 and Ciaran O'Connor in the U/11 boys long jump with 3m93 with Alex King in second in 3m64.
Among the highlights from visiting athletes was an excellent 800m with the country's no.1 U/15 boy, Tom Purnell from Stroud, winning in the superb time of 2.00.4 from U/17s Tom Curr of Stroud in 2.02.2 and Alex Jones of Enfield & Haringey in 2.02.9. In the field a high quality pole vault with U/17 Cameron Walker-Shepherd from Bristol equalling his PB with 4m20 and U/20 Maria Seager of Poole clearing 3m70, a height also cleared by senior Bryony Raine of Cardiff with Charlotte Howarth of Bath University clearing 3m30.

By Di Vales...
Almost 200 athletes enjoyed the sunshine at the Bank Holiday Open Meeting
staged by TeamBath A.C. at the University of Bath on Sunday. There were

some winners, with English Schools champion Joe Hutchinson foremost among
them with a hat trick of victories in the U/15 boys events. He won the shot
with 12m86, the 200m in 23.3 secs and the triple jump with 12m30. Another
triple medallist was Natasha Lewis who won the U/15 girls long jump with a
last round leap of 5m08, following a silver medal in the javelin with 19m69
and a bronze in the 100m in 13.3. Other gold medallists from the host club
were James Threlfall in the U/15 boys high jump with 1m72, Ryan White in

with 2m60, Chloe Hillier in the U/17 girls high jump with 1m55, Edward

Westlake-Cann of Shaftesbury Barnet with 16m89. Impressive throwing too,
from Emma Crooke of Hereford in the U/13 girls events with a shot of 9m15

Compton Dandy Race Report - 11/08/05
By Andy Middleton...
Someone spotted our Bath vests and commented "Bath used to dominate these races, winning everything". He gave us a sympathetic look, the type of look that people give old boxers who don't know when to retire he's still looking for the long lost glory all he gets is more punch drunk. Except none of us noticed.
The Compton Dandy the last of the Summer Series Races and we had a full male team, Craig, Jim, Simon, Chairman Mullet and I. Elies and Jo represented the girls with Iwein and Nick our supporters.
As usual the scenery was great the low sun made the views fantastic but navigation was difficult with more than a few runnners taking detours around the paddocks, including our own Andy.
Some races say "multi-terrain" but this one takes the term to a new level. We ran on roads, through wheat, clover, cow fields, on forrest tracks, farm roads and waist deep streams all packed into 10k.
Our results were also fantastic, Craig picked up 2nd, Jim, Simon and I all managed to get on the first page of results (top 20) Andy was a little further behind due to the extra field he ran around.
Jo was 3rd female proving that the hard Tuesday runs are paying dividends and Elies reveled in the stream overtaking people on the toughest part of the course.
And our male team, did we taste the canvas? Are Baths glory days gone?
Ding, ding fights over don't retire yet, City of Bath first place!! and a bottle of cider each!
O.K. so it's not the World Champs but i'll be grinning from ear to ear on Tuesday.
