  22 July 2007 NATIONAL YOUNG ATHLETES LEAGUE - TAMWORTH


Another outstanding team effort saw Stoke AC's youngsters confirm their place in the Grand Final with a big margin over the other teams in this match. This result is also a testament to boys' manager George Cooper and girls' manager Dave Taylor's efforts in getting the best out of their teams. 

Across all age-groups and events there were some excellent individual performances, including some from athletes in only their first or second NYAL competition. Stoke AC won two athlete of the match awards:

Male Field: Zak Jupp, U13B Shot, 9.20m
Female Track: Jaydene Thompson, U13G 150m, 20.2

Amazingly the U13 boys succeeded in winning all their track events with new recruit Lyndon Evans showing particular promise with a run-away 800m victory.

English Schools champion Kate Holt also totally dominated the U15 girls 800m.

In the older age-groups it was great to see Chelsea Cooper return to action after injury with an excellent double over 100m and 200m in the U17 women. Fellow multi-eventers Alice Lennox, Charlotte James, Natasha Stevens and Laura Tempest also stacked up a massive number of points with multiple wins across a wide range of events. 

One of the closest finishes of the day was in the U17 men's 400m where Liam Tracey out-dipped a strong Tamworth competitor for an excellent victory. Liam also won the 200m for good measure.

Elsewhere other multiple wins were provided by athlete of the match Jaydene Thompson in the U13 girls 75m and 150m, Jazmin Sawyers in the U15 girls Long Jump and High Jump, Jade Moore in the U17 women's Javelin and Discus, Brad Garside in the U17 men's 100m and 100m Hurdles, and Ben Williams in the U17 men's Triple Jump and Long Jump. Ben also won the B High Jump alongside team-mate Joe Harding's A victory.

If the club can fill a few remaining missing events, turn-out a couple more of the other missing top performers, and everyone else can improve just a notch, another top four placing in the final (and the country!) may be possible.

Team scores:
1. Stoke - 463.5 points
2. Tamworth - 338.5 points
3. Cardiff - 327.5 points
4. Bromsgrove and Redditch - 324.5 points
