3 S-W Champions & 5 picked for Birmingham!
Following the South-West Schools’ Inter-Counties Championships at Exeter on Saturday, June 15, five PAC athletes have been selected to compete for Dorset Schools at the ESAA “All-England” Championships in Birmingham on July 12/13. Overall, 17 from PAC competed for Dorset in Exeter and they achieved three gold, two silver and two bronze by their performances.
Fleur Mansell broke her own U17 (IG) T J Club Record with 11.15m. She is one of those heading for Birmingham. The others are Dan Sanchez (JB 100), Emily Parker (IG 1500 S/Chase – also broke her Club Record), Ashia Wilson (IG 800), and Ben Lewis (SB 2000 S/Chase). (For ref. Jun = u15; Inter = u17.)
The constant, strong (illegal!) wind affected performances pro and con and winter clothing (for some of the time) was appropriate! But it stayed dry!
Note those who managed PBs in spite of the weather!

Big win for Team Dorset in SAL3 at Ashdown
The home Southern League Match 3 was staged in cool, dry conditions with a gusting, strong SW wind which helped in the home straight but had to be fought on the back straight! A relatively big team, supported by a number of U17s, had many winners and a significant overall victory. (The opposition were Poole Runners, Andover, Plymouth, Havant, and Team Kennet.)
