The last Lower YDL of the season has us going down for next season, however these athletes have competed so well throughout the summer.

Matthew Birch and Micah Smith have regularly been some of the highest points scorers at these events.

Under 14 athlete Ben Urmston made his debut league competition, setting a new club record in the 800m.

Sahana Jacobs ran 28.1 seconds to set a new record in the under 14 girls 200m. And was later involved in the new under 14 girls 4x100m relay record, alongside Poppy Payne, Neve Povah and Ella Atkinson.

Freya Fieldhouse extended her own under 16 girls club record in the 100m to 12.8 seconds.

Alice Kinnaird won in shot and discus, and at this point in the season holds the club record in shot, discus and javelin.

Rae Vaughan makes a steady return from her hamstring injury to compete in shot and discus, placing first in the B competition of discus.
Multi-eventers Rae, Sienna Collins and Anya Rothwell contributed so much to the team over the season, always competing in as many events as they were allowed to do.

Phoebe Smith equalled her seasons best / club record after a return from a difficult injury. She looks to be on her way back to her best.

Annie Grogan extended her own 300m club record to 44.6 seconds, placing 3rd in the A race. After coming last place to those same athletes earlier in the season. The determination of our athletes to step up to the higher level of this league has been great to watch for us coaches and parents.

Despite going down this year, I’m sure we will see this brilliant team bounce back next season and likely get promoted once again. The higher standards of this league have spurred on massive improvements in individual performances over the course of the season. We look forward to see what they can do over the rest of the outdoor season and to another fantastic YDL campaign next year.

Thank you to Camera Ju**ie Photography for the photography once again.

Thanks to all those who took part in the first Quadrathlon for U10s & U12s at Leigh Harriers last night. It was a great night with PBs, medals and lots of smiling faces. Watch out for the next one!
