Competing as Yeovil Olympiads at track & field and wearing the orange vest

 

Well done to all of the athletes that have competed so well this summer in the 4 fixtures. The combined team with Yeovil Olympiads duly won the 4th and final fixture on Sept 7th at Exeter Arena. A number of the Harrier’s Monday junior group competed in this final fixture to ensure the Championship.

 

For the u’13 girls Roo Black had a great day winning the Long Jump with her excellent 4.31m. This was a personal best and pushes Roo up to 11th on the Regional power of ten rankings. She also finished 2nd in the shot put with a good 7.18m, another best and into 17th on the regional rankings.

 

For the u’13 boys Johnny Forsey had a busy afternoon too, winning the B string 100m in a nippy13.8 to improve his best by almost half a second and move to 27th on the regional rankings. Johnny also won the B string sprint Hurdles in 14.6, another best and went to 21st on the regional rankings. In the javelin he threw 20.16m for 3rd place, another personal best before helping the sprint relay team to first place. Curtis Stevens easily won the B string 800m in 2.30.5, not far short of his personal best which sees him at 11th in the region. Curtis also jumped a new best of 1.30m in the High Jump to place him at 30th in the regional rankings.

 

Now for the autumn and winter season which sees the combined team competing at road and cross-country as Wells & Yeovil and wearing the blue & yellow vest of the Harriers. Contact Paul Chadwick for details of teams 01749 812420.
