The England Athletics National track & field Championships at Alexander Stadium, Birmingham, again saw u17 Tom Webb come away as a national champion. Running over his favourite track distance of 3,000m Tom raced to victory in a time of 8.46. His victory follows up his national title from last year at the same distance. Retaining his national title is a good indicator of how consistent Tom has been the past few years either in spite of, or because of, his ferocious appetite for racing!
Meanwhile at the South West Regional T&F Championships held on the Sunday at Exeter a number of Harriers came away with either the SW Gold medal or a pb or both. Step forward SW Champions u13 Ruby Shaw, u15 Oskar Beck and Senior Men Luke Prior & Matt Lusby for some great running.

Another good week of competition performances by Harriers - u17 Tom Webb (below) followed up his recent silver medal winning performance at the SW Schools Championships, with his silver medal winning perfomance at Carmarthen in the Schools International running for English Schools. Meanwhile Harrier Deputy Chairman Christian Green (above) was enjoying his day out in north Wales at the tough Ras yr Wyddfa (Snowdon Fell Race) against all comers including a range of international athletes.

Phoebe, for the women, and Alex Coombs, for the men, look in a good position for the overall Somerset Series titles if they can keep their consistent running going.
