ERRA National Road Relays took place at Sutton Park, Birmingham last weekend and LWAC were in full attendance. Another big shout-out to Gary Johnson for organising and managing the Relay events.
LWAC brought home a team medal and an individual medal this year, repeating similar feats to last year (more on that soon).
Our U14G stepped up to the national stage after a superb silver at Northern Athletics and again displayed a fine performance at a new level with 13th place. The boys took two teams and finished 14th and 35th respectively in strong fields, and included debut races for some new members.
The U16G took two teams and mirrored their Northern's success with the "A" team bringing home silver medals, and the "B" once more coming home as the fastest "B" team in the race. The U16B also took two teams, highlighting LWAC depth, finishing 42nd and 72nd, and again, included some new members making their competitive debuts.
Our U18W also took two teams and the "A" team finished 14th, despite being held back by an official long after the previous leg athlete had finished. The "B" team produced a fine 34th place finish. The U18M finished 30th having stormed into the Top 10 on the opening leg.
The senior women (being aged 17, 17, 17, & 18) once more produced a quality display, after having earned bronze at the Northern Relays two weeks ago. They finished 14th and showed consistent splits in a high-class senior women's field. The "B" team finished 52nd, having a blend of youth and experience proved a great success.
The senior men saw a 6-stage epic and the gruelling course never allowed any rhythm to flow. Again, in a stacked field, all athletes battled hard and competed well to finish 57th having qualified late from the Northern relay.
Thank you to all who took part, supported, spectated, travelled, cheered, organised, and more. These events don't happen without the club coming together as one!
