Outstanding individuals – Melissa and Jamie!
In the Diamond League Meeting in Stockholm last Thursday night, May 30th, Melissa Courtney ran in the W5000m. She finished 8th of the thirteen women in a time of 14-53.82. This achieved a number of targets:- it was a PB; it was a Club SW Record for the event; it was a qualifying time for the IAAF World Championships in Doha at the end of September 2019; and it was a qualifying time for the next Olympics in Tokyo in July/August 2010. Finally it ranks 6th on the UK all-time list for the event! Overall a brilliant effort!
South of England Championships at Bedford on Saturday, June 1st
In the SM 3000m S/Ch, Jamie Grose won the silver medal in a time of 9-30.17 (out of 13 runners). This builds on his recent Club Record for the shorter 2000m S/Ch. Well done, Jamie.
Ciaran Dunnion contested the SM 400m. In Heat 2 he placed 5th out of seven in 50.56. This qualified him for a semi-final in which he finished 7th (out of eight) in 50.71. Then on Sunday, in SWAL 1 at Exeter, Ciaran – giving great support to the Club – finished second in both SM 400 and SM 2000 S/Ch!! Thanks Ciaran and all those who competed for Poole AC in the cool, damp conditions at Exeter!
