Athletes of the Match: The whole Walton Team – absolutely no one can be excluded from what has been our highest scoring total this season. However I am naming a number of athletes who really impressed:

On the track: Charlotte Vaughan’s 1,200m race – Charlotte ran a 7 second PB, placed herself in the top 50 in the UK over the distance and displayed the most amazing piece of front running.

Jumps: Zac Goor – not many of you would have seen Zac have a fairly major altercation with the High Jump stands at 1.15m. I told him that he could come out at that point as he had a badly bruised his leg. But no true to the character of this Walton team Zac stayed in and got a PB with 1.30m and claiming second place.

Throws: Sia Banbury with a massive PB of 29.60m putting her first in Surrey and that from someone who only took up the event in April. Well done Sia you’ve shown the whole team if they really want something what they can achieve.

What stuck out so much about the team performance was just how many Personal Bests (PBs) were achieved. Well done everyone – full results can be viewed at: http://www.thepowerof10.info/results/results.aspx?meetingid=103411
