Winners and records in London, M/C & UAG!
We had athletes at many venues last weekend! Pride of place goes to Melissa Courtney, already major Games bronze-medallist. She won the Elite Womens’ “Vitality” Westminster Mile, beating fellow-international Laura Muir into third place. Her time was 00:04:31. This was one of the last two races in a day-long, 36-race event on Sunday, May 26th.
On Saturday, at Sport City, Manchester, SM Jamie Grose achieved his 2000m Steeplechase ambition to beat 6 minutes, finishing 2nd, in a BMC Grand Prix event, in 5-54.75. This is a Club Record and ranks him 3rd on Power of 10!
Poole AC helped Team Dorset at UAG2 in Winchester. The composite Team Dorset travelled to Winchester on a mild, cloudy day last Sunday for Match 2 in the UKYDL Upper Age-Group (UAG – for U17s and U20s). In these results, please note the PBs and two Club Records.
