Fantastic team effort at Gloucester last Sunday in the senior track&field. We took a minibus down which made for a great squad atmosphere. Throws: Harrison threw discus and smashed his pb twice in the Javelin, Matt got in the scoring too. Morris was back, doing what he does best in shot, discus and hammer then Hayley and Lydia threw all 4 events, winning A and B in discus!
Sprints: Caden, Mako, Theo, Liv and Abbey all doubling up in 100m and 200m, high standards!! Niamh ran a good 200m then beat her PB in the 400m.
Distance: Lewis, Euan and Lino frankly dominated the races in 400 and 800, Aidan and Aston battled the heat I the 1500m and Matt just about survived the 3000m.
Jumps: Liv and Harrison did great in long jump, Harrison then starred with a win in pole vault!
Was so proud of our relays, Lewis, Caden, Theo, Lino in 4x1, Niamh, Abbey, Lino and Lewis in a thrilling 4x4.
Special thanks to officials Louise, Mel, Adrian and Lee and Hayley for sorting and driving the bus.
All aboard for the Stoke meet on 29th Aug!! ⚫️⚪️🔴

City of Stoke Veterans 2026 Midland Track and Field League campaign came to a close with another strong showing in the final fixture at Sutton Coldfield.

Colin Bishop was a new addition to the team this season, and has been one of the club’s standout performers. He’s competed in all four fixtures, and once again delivered a huge number of points with first a season’s best in the 800m, followed up by a new personal best in the 3000m.

Jo Donnelly and Mandy Vernon have been the backbone to the women’s team and can always be relied upon to cover multiple events. This time around it was a menu of 200m, 800m and 3000m, with each athlete contributing a whopping 18 points each!

Key to the squad’s success has been taking on the challenge of tackling a new event. Phil Rowley can now add the title of ‘race walker’ to his list of accolades, after taking over a minute off his personal best over the one mile distance.

Despite not being able to compete this summer Louise Dawson has officiated at every single meeting. A change of scene she has enjoyed, but fingers cross we’ll see her return to the role of athlete next summer.

If you are a club member who missed out of the fixtures this season we would love to hear from you ahead of 2027. All ages and abilities are welcome, with opportunities to compete and/or officiate available.

July has been a good month for the endurance runners . The beginning of July saw Lewis doing his first ever national competition in Bedford in the 800m . It wasn’t expected he would reach the finals as he was up against some solid competition. But after a scrappy race of pushing and shoving and been forced to the back , he fought so hard and came an incredible third place to qualify for the finals the next day . he went into the finals as the outsider , but as lewis does he fought hard and although that heat was still hurting , he came a brilliant 7th place .
This weekend has seen three of the lads who were selected for the younger age group nationals again in Bedford .
Luke in the 800m ran a very controlled heat and comfortably qualified for the finals the next day . He went into the finals with a gutsy attitude which saw him take to the front early on , however he got tripped a couple of times which threw him off his momentum slightly , he fought very hard to the finish and came an incredible 3rd place 🥉 in his first ever nationals and only a dip away from 2nd .
Lino ran in the 400m . He ran in heats and semis on the same day which comfortably saw him into the finals the following day . He ran strong and came a fantastic 5th place overall but got the gold medal 🥇 in his age category after a very mixed year which is an incredible achievement and hugely deserved .
We then had Joe who was selected for the 3000m - he has only ever run one 3k ever and qualified for nationals , today he went in as the slowest on paper but came a magnificent 9th out of 14! What an achievement.
I am very proud that this year we had four athletes all male national finals and out of the four two got medals ! Well done lads 💪💪

In spite of the June record breaking temperatures City of Stoke Veterans were back in action last week with a superb set of results in the Midland Track and Field League held at a sweltering Tamworth.

Mandy Vernon was our only female athlete available and completed a gruelling schedule of 100m, 400m, 1 Mile walk, 1 Mile run and the Shot Put, all with a smile on her face, and narrowing missing out on a new personal best in the Shot.

Morris Fox continued his fine form in the throwing events. He is still yet to lose a Shot Put competition in his 20 plus years of competing in Midland Veterans League fixtures, a record which was further extended, along with second place in the Discus and Hammer.

Despite the heat, Colin Bishop was able to record the second fastest ever mile clocking of his career, and this was after having already ran in the 100m and 400m. He ended the evening by anchoring home the Relay team with excellent paced 800m which saw him close down a rival athlete who had a 70m head start.

Paul Williams started his evening off with a comfortable victory in the 100m. This was then backed up with second in the Long Jump, plus a fourth place finish in the Triple Jump, an event where those who finished ahead where at least 10-20 years younger!

Fresh from a stint of warm weather training in Thailand, Phil Rowley has just a tenth of a second away from setting a new lifetime best in the 100m, before making his debut in a walking event, with further invaluable contributions made in the 400m and Relay.

Hardest job of the night was completed by Louise Dawson, with standing several hours in the heat whilst completing her track officiating duties.

Overall the men consolidated their fifth place in the standings, just a point behind Birchfield. Mandy’s heroic efforts saw the women’s team maintain their position of seventh in the league table.

If you can help with the next ‘adults sports day’, and our final fixture of the season, which takes place in Sutton Coldfield on Wednesday 22th July, please get in touch.

All ages and abilities are welcome, with opportunities to compete and/or officiate available.
