| Senior Track and Field, A Team |
Well done to the A Team for a fantastic result in the 2nd Midland League Division 2 match. First a big thank you to the officials (Murray Grant, Bill Kingston and Mike Strange, and their helpers, Matt Hallisey and Scott Davie).
With the javelin results still to come, Bristol & West AC scored 409 points to win the the match from Birchfield 343, Halesowen 330, Charnwood 322, Notts 292 and Telford 240.
It seemed to me the everyone in the team exceeded expectations! A great team effort. Results to follow when available.
- Chris Elson.

| Patrick Woodisse Does The Bob Graham Round |
|
Club member and former middle distance star Patrick Woodisse completed a successful Bob Graham Round in 21.51.23 on Sunday May 25th.
The BGR is a 72-mile circuit of 42 Lakeland peaks, covering around 29,000 feet of ascent, reaching the highest summit in England- Scafell Pike and must be completed in under 24 hours. Patrick’s run was supported by 8 pacemakers, including fellow Bristol and West members Dave Austin, Helen Fines and Mike Roberts.
The attempt started from Moot Hall, Keswick at 1 am, and Patrick ran ahead of his target times from the start, dropping both his pacemakers on stage 1! Stage 2 was hindered by navigational difficulties and low cloud, but the changeover point was still reached an hour ahead of schedule.
Despite strong winds on the summits, Patrick continued to gain time on the longest and most difficult 3rd stage, to arrive at Wasdale Head with a 1h 45min advantage on his 23 hour target schedule. Having suffered stomach trouble throughout, the challenge of taking on enough fuel had an impact on the 4th stage split, but Patrick showed enormous mental strength to finish off the final 8 peaks at a strong pace.
This excellent run is expected to be ratified by the Bob Graham adjudicators very soon.
Congratulations to Patrick!

| NYAL Midland Div 1, Sun 18th May |
An emphatic win was achieved with an excellent team events points score.
Athletes achieved 64 winning performances, 39 second places and just a handful of 3rds and 4ths. Many events were keenly contested but the numerical strength of the team and enthusiasm to compete in extra events was crucial.
James Preston produced the performance of the day in winning the U17M shot putt with 14.85. Nathan Young ran an excellent 4.08.9 solo effort to win the U17M 1500m. Yannick Budd won the 400m hurdles in an impressive 59.3 secs and narrowly headed team mate Ding Yang in the 100m hurdles both with sub 15 second times into a head wind. Round numbers gave Cameron Walker -Shepherd and Ding Yang wins in the PV 4m and LJ 6m respectively. Cameron is a versatile athlete and with sprinter Scott Bajere claimed wins in the triple jump. Josh Bagnall, recovered from the football season, produced fine winning performances in the 400m and 800m.
The under 15 boys faced the stiffer opposition on the day. Jonathon Clayton won the discus with a creditable 29.07 and Chad Edwards coming back to form was 2nd in the 100m
Julian Mogg won the U13B 100 by a clear second but the headwind left him a little disappointed. Matthew Mattis made his team debut with a win in the long jump 4.30m, a win in the High jump and a "B" win in the shot and was a member of the winning 4 x 100m relay team. Ben Miller ran a positive 1500 and came close to being under 5 mins. Stuart O'Connell improved his PB in the 1500 by 12 seconds and was just outside his aim of breaking 6 minutes in winning the "B" string.
In the under 17 ladies Zoe Laing had to settle for 2nd in the long jump but completed wins in the 80m hurdles and "B" 100m. Emily Owsley did the sprint double and found that throwing a hammer can be done successfully too. Ruth Stringer ran well to win the 300m and the "B" 200m. Clare Dickins best efort came in the high jump with a win and new PB of 1.43. Alex Bolton and Lauren Brailey contributed to the team effort in the throwing events.
Daisy Da Silva (GU15) in winning set a new PB in the high jump of 1.49m and cleared 4.58 m in the long jump. Alice Grosjean 1st in the shot and 2nd in the javelin proved that throwers can jump by winning the "B" long jump.
U12 Rosie Bostock won the U13 shot with 6.13m and Katie Furniss-Brown the "B" string with 4.48. Lauren Hayman had a mixed afternoon finishing ahead of the Team Bath pair in the 75m sprint but just a fraction adrift of the Gloucester athlete. Lauren had one of those days long jumpers forget as soon as possible.
The next match is Sunday 1 June at Yeovil against Yeovil, Marlborough and City of Plymouth. Another win has to be the target but it may be by a narrower margin.

| Vets Triumph |
|
The B&W over 40's team won the blue riband event of the British Masters Relay last Saturday for the 4th consecutive time. Jerry Hogan stepped in late on to replace Clive Bromhall who was ill. It was close at first, but Mick O'Doherty on the fourth leg with a cracking 15.01 timing took the team into the lead, and we ran out winners by over 5 min in the end.
Jerry Hogan 16.40, Alex Woods 15.11, John Duncan 16.26, Mick O'Doherty 15.01, Andrew Harrison 15.47, Martin Hula 15.43, Phil Parry 15.12, and the glory leg Dan Moore 15.28.
Amazingly Phil won the Pensford 10K next day in 32.59 followed by Mick 33.24, a B&W runner was 6th as the B&W AC won the team race with 9 points. Claire Hallisey won the womens race in 36.20, with Sian Monahan 2nd 39.24, and Lisa Newing completing the winning B&W AC team in 41.05. Lisa has been busy coming 3rd in the Berkley 10K (on 12th May) in 40.01 to Heidi North who won in 38.37.
Other results:
In the Oxford 10K, Amy Stiles-Chalk won in 35.46

| Fell Report |
|
Helen Fines finished 4th in the 2007 English Fell Running Championships, and 5th in the British Championships. Each competition consists of a series of 6 races of varying distance and ascent, from 4m/1500' to 20m/6000'. Despite injury causing Helen to miss a number of races, she clocked up over 14 hours of racing, and missed out on a medal [in the English Fell Champs] by less than a second in the final race of the season.
