Record breaking weekend for WSEH athletes
It was a record breaking weekend for WSEH athletes, with three new club records, plus a League Record and a Northern Ireland record.
Competing for GB in an Under 20 International in Germany Lawrence Clarke improved his own Under 20 110m hurdles club record. In the same event at the National Junior League match at Eton on Sunday, Ben Reynolds set a new Northern Ireland record of 13.82secs, also inside the European Championships qualifying mark. It looks as though both the GB reps in the European Under 20 Championships could come from the local club. Another to get under the European qualifying mark, setting a new U20 Decathlon club record in the process was Ashley Bryant in the National Multi Events championships in Birmingham with a score of 7069 points. The final club record and League Record and ‘Female Athlete of the Match’ award went to Martha Reynolds who was streets ahead of her chasers in the 1500m steeplechase in the match at Eton with a time of 5m08.87 to go top of the national rankings.
