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.

A reminder that entries close at 12.00 midday on Thursday 18th APRIL. No late entries are possible.
Can I remind athletes (especially those with track entries) that ALL entries should be associated with a PB. The latter is used in seeding where necessary. The absence of any PB may result in athletes being asked to compete against seeded runners with a variety of times.
