Adam 5th in British Championships M400m Hurdles
At the dry, warm Manchester Regional Arena last Saturday, Adam Booth ran in Heat 1 (of 4) and came second (of 6) in 51.84, qualifying for the Final. Since it was live-streamed on the British Athletics site on Sunday, we could then watch him race as an u20 in the MENS’ Final. It was cooler and gusting windy. A faller on a lane inside him was a distraction. He still finished strongly, placing 5th (of 7) in 52.17.
British Triathlon Super Series at Bowood
All the athletes had to attempt all three races, the best two results being used to create the ranking. Race 1 consisted of a 1 Km swim followed by a 1 Km run. Then Race 2 needed a 500m. swim followed by a 2 Km run. Finally, Race 3 was a 300m swim followed by a 3 Km run. Ryan Symington won all three races. Brothers Liam and Ryan Openshaw also completed all three, Liam (7th) and Ryan (35th) being well-ranked. Other Poole AC members Zac Cloete and Alex Palotia-Avella also took part in this demanding series. We applaud all of them for their effort and determination.
Yeovil SWAL1
On Sunday July 4th, a large number of Poole AC athletes went to Yeovil for the first of four South-West Athletics League (East Group) matches. This level of competition has been our main focus in recent seasons and gives a picture of how we are doing as a total club. This year the twelve constituent clubs have been divided into two geographical groups of six, the West based in Plymouth and the East in Yeovil. So we are grouped with: Dorchester, Wimborne, Mendip, Taunton and the hosts. Results:-

Ed Bird wins 3K Gold & Emily wins Steeplechase Silver
At the English Schools’ AA Finals (Day 1) in Manchester on Friday 9th July, Emily Parker won the silver medal by finishing second in the Senior Girls’ 1500m. Steeplechase in a huge PB. Dorset also won two gold and two bronze medals by other athletes. Our u20W member, Fleur Mansell, finished 5th in the SG Triple Jump, clearing 11.67m. Quite a successful first day. Then on Saturday, Ed Bird held off a strong challenge in the final lap to take the gold in the Inter Boys’ 3000m. Team-mate Mark Ruby ran strongly to finish 12th. Bill Godden gained silver in JB Discus – but no results posted so far.
