A
difficult first match with both men's and women's teams missing key athletes.
However there some outstanding individual performances to lift the gloom.
Multi-eventer Chelsea Cooper showed that her sprinting power has returned
after injury with 2 brilliant wins in the 100m and 200m, both PBs. Brett
Byrd showed that he is one of the very best young Javelin throwers in the
country with an excellent 67m throw. Yet again Throwers Gregg Nixon and Martin
Bartholomew proved that they are the beating heart of the Stoke men's team
with a massive contribution to our overall points score across four events.
Martin also took the Shot Put with a superb 14.82m throw and jumped an
impressive 12.65m in
the Triple Jump!. In the middle distance events sole 'A' winner was Seb Duffy
in the 5000m with a brilliant sub 15minute clocking against good quality opposition.
Middle distance runners Kate Holt and Tom Gayle doubled up and scored good
points with strong opening performances for the season.
Although numbers were very low the women did extremely well to cover
as many events as they could, with middle distance runner Claire Booker in
particular deserving special praise for having a go at events outside her
normal remit.
Hopefully in the next match at Birmingham on the
6th June we can fill the gaps and score much better. If
we can maintain the rest
of the team's performances over the next three matches the team should stay in
this division.
