Walton’s SWL team had their best result of the season so far in the home match at Stompond Lane finshing in 3rd place only three points behind second. Over the match as a whole Walton easily matched the other teams for quality but were let down by lack of numbers with sixteen events being left empty.

The seniors found the track events very difficult with only one win all day from Jo Locker in the 1500m, Jo had earlier finished 2nd in the 3000m where Nat Warren unfortunately had to drop out.. Helen Channon and Kaylee Price managed 3rd places in the high quality sprint races and even though Ellie Sellwood and Nicola Aylett both ran personal best times in the 400m, their runs were only good enough for 2nd and 3rd places.

The field events were a different story with Walton scoring higher than the other teams seniors. Helen and Tina Howell won the long and triple jumps with Jo Regan winning both B strings. Tina also won the B string high jump.

Debbie Singleton took time off from organising the meeting to come 2nd in the  pole vault and pick up 2nd and 3rd places in the throws. The match finished with a 2nd place in the sprint relay and 2nd place in the 4 x 400m. The relays saw the welcome return of Susie McLoughlin to Walton colours 
The juniors were also better on the field although they did have four track wins. Lisa O’Brian won the 75m hurdles and Alice Wills the 1500m. Beth Sutherland was 1st in the B string 800m with Rio Herring 3rd in the A race and the team finished off the day with an excellent win in the sprint relay.
On the field there was a double long jmup win from Abbie Wroth and Lisa O’Brian and Carla Letheby won all three A string throws with Sinead O’Brian 2nd and 3rd in the B string disucs and shot. Shannon Kay equalled her high jump best for 3rd place.
