Last weekend was the South of England U15 and U17 Championships held at Crystal Palace National Stadium. Walton AC had several athletes competing, all of whom did the club proud.

Stealing the show was George Sudderick, who won the U15 Boys 300m in 36.30s. Sam Mace was in customary sparkling form, claiming a silver in the U17 Men’s shot put (13.89) and a bronze in the hammer (58.71m). Tyler Panton also claimed double medal honours with bronzes in the U15 Boys 100 (11.44s) and 200 (23.38s). Also in the medals was Sia Banbury, with bronze in the U17 women’s hammer (49.67m).

Elsewhere in the U15 age groups, Rueben Leyland was 7th in the 300 (38.24s), while Emma Horsey and Megan Coffey contested the 800m, Emma taking 5th place with a PB 2:17.38. Ross Hurst ran 5:02.64 for 15th in the 1500, while Georgia Russell had a very busy day, just missing bronze in the shot put wih 9.61m (PB), and throwing 19.79m in the discus and another PB 29.08m in the hammer.

In the U17 age group, Charlotte Vaughan was 5th in the 800m with 2:19.85.

A fantastic set of results as the season draws to a close with just the England Championships at Bedford next weekend to come.
