The Lily B Plate Final saw Walton neck and neck with Herne Hill for most of the afternoon.  Unfortunately the lack of U.17’s and B string relay teams finally proved decisive and the team finished a close second to Herne Hill.

In the U.11 age group only Eleanor Palmer turned out in a competition which is especially set up to give this age group experience.  So it was disappointing that no other girls took the opportunity to have a go.  Eleanor ran the second fastest time of the day in the 600m with a new pb of 2 minutes dead.  Eleanor finished 4th out of 31 competitors in the long jump with a distance of 3.58m.

The U.13 girls team had an excellent day particularly in the field events.  The best all round performance came from Beth Hamlet who equalled or improved her pb’s in all her events.  Leanne and Leilani who "could not throw javelin" managed to win the A and B strings.  Leanne also threw well in the shot and discus. 

Shannen, who has been the mainstay of the U.13 girls team all season, finished with wins in the discus and high jump and a second place in the 100m.  Alice ran a pb in the 100m and jumped a pb in the long jump.  Beth Sutherland and Sophie Denmead gave a good all round performances with Beth jumping a pb in long jump.

There were only three pb’s for the under 15 girls, Kate in the high jump, Lauren Childs in the 100m and Lauren Highton in the 200m.There were A string wins for Carla in the javelin and discus and B string wins for Laura Moore in the javelin and high jump.Biggest effort of the day came from Alicia who doubled up in the 800m and 1500m without complaint.  Sophie also scored valuable points for the team in the hurdles and shot.

The under 17 team of Ellen and Chelsey had a good afternoon with Ellen winning the 100 and 200 sprints with nobody else in sight!  Chelsey performed close to her pb’s in high jump and javelin and set a pb for the season in long jump.  Chelsey has been the mainstay of the U.17 girls team this season turning out whenever possible.

The team managers would like to thank all the girls for turning out for the Club and hope to see them all again next season.

Also a big thank you to the mums and dads who supported the team and helped out on the judging of our six field events.

Just to remind everyone there is a busy winter season of sporthall and cross country.  Anybody who wants to, can participate in both these competitions.  You don’t have to be asked by a team manager, just let a coach know you are available.  Dates are on the web site.
