Oxfordshire Athletics

This year's Oxfordshire Schools' AA Championships will be happening at Horspath, Oxford on Sunday 9th June. A timetable for the day is attached. Athletes will need to be at their events 10 mins before the start time. There are events for pupils in all secondary school year groups (years 7-13).

Good weather – especially on the second day, meant an outstanding opportunity for some excellent early season marks at Horspath Road.

In the Senior Women’s Discus, Kathryn Woodcock was close to her 50 metre-plus pb when throwing a Championship Best Performance of 48.53m – exceeding the old mark by some 4 metres.

One of the older records fell in the U17 Women’s Pole Vault, when Reading’s Emily Scrivener cleared 3.10m, erasing Caroline Smith’s 1999 record.

One item of lost property remains unclaimed from the County Track & Field Championships weekend – a green shawl or wrap. If the owner would like to contact Alan Vincent, the Meeting Manager – on 01295 720809 or on avbloxham@gmail.com - he would be pleased to arrange its return.

Fine Design once again produced some very attractive and popular kit for our joint County Championships. If you missed out at the weekend, it’s not too late to purchase. Please contact claire@finedesignsuk.com

Congratulations to Jemma Gregory on achieving her Level 1 Track Judge qualification.

The 3K championship races will take place during the Wycombe Phoenix Junior Club Championships and Invitational on Sunday 16 June. These races will be run in conjunction with Bucks AA. The exact times of the races will be posted later, but they will be 'around lunchtime'.
