Despite the strong headwind on the home straight, there were great performances from Team Lasswade in the YDL today.
PBs came from Mia in the long jump, Eloise in the shot putt, Abbie in the 200m, Bethan and Lucy in the 800m. Competing for the first time was Dylan and Emily in the 100m – both will certainly run PBs next time out if the wind is kinder.
11 athletes competed for the club today which is an improvement on the 6 we saw in the first match. However, we know we can get more athletes out competing – please speak to your coaches if you haven’t competed this season or even someone the athletes in your training group who have competed. It’s just one of the ways to repay the coaches who put in so much time and hard work to help you improve.
The highlight (for me at least!) was the Under 15 girls 4x100m relay team who despite getting a crash course in baton changes 10 minutes before the start managed to put together 3 decent changes to come home 3rd.
Well done to all the athletes who turned out today and thanks to the coaches and officials who have been putting in the hard work with the athletes.
