The final Ebbisham League match was held at Kingston on Sunday and, despite some very good performances, a poor turn out of only 5 athletes condemned Walton to last place in the match. The team finished 5th overall and will be relegated to division 2 for next season.

On the bright side the five athletes produced ten personal best performances from the thirteen events they competed in.

2	Kingston & Polytechnic	140.5

Nicola Aylett ran a well judged race for 3rd place in the 800m and was also 3rd in the shot.

The seniors had a very good day all round with many event wins. The first event of the day saw a double win in the long jump for Helen Williams and Kaylee Price. Kaylee also won the high jump and the sprint hurdles and Helen was 2nd in the 100m and 200m. Maria Hanshaw, in her first league appearance of the season, picked up 2nd places in the B string sprints. Jo Locker won the 800m A race with her fastest time for two years and Nathalie Warren equalled her best ever time to place 2nd in the B race. Claire Pearce ran her best ever  400m for 3rd place in the B race.  Rosie Marino won the B string High Jump and was 2nd and 3rd in the two under 17 hurdles races. Debbie Singleton was 2nd in the pole vault and the discus with Lauren Garhard winning the B string vault with a new pb. Tina Howell won the B string triple jump and threw new pb’s in the hammer and discus. the sprint relay team of Rosie, Kaylee, Maria and Helen had a comfortable win and the day finished with Helen, Nathalie, Claire and Hannah Gray coming 3rd in the 4 x 400m relay, the highlight being a fastest ever run by Hannah on the final leg.
