An Evening at Bannister Stadium
Harrow, 26^th July

A small but splendid ladies team each had at least 2 events. It was particularly nice to have 3 new athletes to the Barnet vet women’s team, Yllka, Tracey and Anna.

When I have 2 events in one evening I target the first in terms of effort, this dispels my nerves and I’m nicely warmed up, if tiring, for the second one. Having said that if we have more athletes competing ….. Even better. Anna and Piji were delighted with their high jump PBs, then went on to running events.

It was great to see so many men competing in events for the first time. Dave Byrne ran 800m first time in vets track and to have Adrian return in 3k.

Please note that the 3^rd and last vets track this season is the 6^th September at Lee Valley.

Young Stags Medal Rush
 

A quartet of Young Stags competed in the Middlesex Track & Field Championships at Lee Valley on Saturday 24 July. Between them, they came away with six medals – one gold, three silver, and two bronze.

Charlotte took part in three field events – discus, javelin and long jump – achieving personal bests in all three, and medals in all three, with two silvers and a bronze.

Jorjia and Monisade competed at 200m, and both qualified from their heats for the final. In the final, Jorjia hauled herself from fourth to second in the final few metres, whilst Monisade achieved a good sixth place.

In the 800m, Eddie found himself in a strong field, but stayed with the leaders throughout and fought off challenges to take third place. Jorjia led her race from gun to finish in an impressive display of running, and is now U13 Girls 800m County Champion.

Brilliant performances by all, reflecting the hard work that they have put in.

U13 Girls

Discus: Charlotte Parsons 18.17m (PB) – 2nd; Javelin: Charlotte Parsons 21.84m (PB) – 2nd; Long Jump: Charlotte Parsons 3.67m (PB) – 3rd

200m – Jorjia March 27.98 (PB) – 2nd; Monisade Ayodeji 31.53 – 6th

800m – Jorjia March 2.28.15 – 1st

U15 Boys

800m – Eddie Powell 2.17.60 – 3rd

Full results are on Power of 10

Club Kit

We have entered into a partnership with iProsports to provide a range of club kit. The link below will take you to our Club Zone on the iProsports website. There you will find an initial range of items available for direct purchase through the website for delivery to your home or your preferred delivery address, with payment by credit card or Paypal.

Initially we have launched without ‘red’ shorts, as we have yet to agree on styles, and these will follow.

We will be looking to add extra sizes for Young athletes and other kit, with some blue options.

As outlined in the Club Magazine, club vests are currently being managed by our fantastic Membership Secretary team and orders can be made via their email address: membership@barnetadac.com and remain keenly priced at £15.00.

A reminder to members – please encourage family & friends to use the more20 code on startfitness.co.uk on Moremile kit only. You can take advantage of a 20% discount – the more it is used the more the club can (potentially – we don’t know if the deal still works for the club) get back. Moremile kit is of good quality & very good value for money especially with the discount.

Happy Shopping
