NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS/EUROPEAN TRIALS – June 2013

Report by Micaela Brindle

Seven athletes made the trip down to Bedford over the weekend for the U20&U23 UK Championships and European Trials. The weekend started off by being a very miserable and rainy day. Saturday tuned out to be a good day for Wigan athletes with Harry Coppell vaulting a height of 5.05 to come away with a gold medal and also recognition for ‘Young athlete of the year’. The wind didn’t help Harry for his pole vault but helped Rachel Williamson in the triple jump with a massive PB of 12.55 (+3.6) putting her in a clear first place and meaning she came home with a gold medal. To finish off Saturdays results Wigan had two Javelin throwers, Ben Whipp in the U20Men category throwing a distance of 52.38m and coming 5th with his team mate Liane Bibby in the U20Women category coming home with a bronze medal and a throw of 43.77 which she threw in the second round.  Sundays weather held up better with most of the track and field results coming in under the +2.0 legal wind and a dry track. Oliver Lithgow kicked off the track running in the 200m Heats with a time of 22.16 just missing out on a place in the Semi Finals. Danielle McGifford started off her day with the 100mH heats coming second with a time of 14.29 seeing her comfortably into the final. She then improved on that time running 14.17 in the final coming a very close 4th with only 0.1 splitting 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Danielle also competed in the long jump along with Micaela Brindle. Danielle jumping a distance of 5.84m (+1.3) landed her in 7th position and her team mate Micaela Brindle jumping 6.04m (+0.6) meaning she took home the silver medal.

Well done all  athletes and thank you to  Micaela for the report

UK Women’s League 1^st Match Report by Bethan Lishman

The first match in the League was held in Southampton on Sunday 9^th June, the team was extremely small however we had some great athletes travelling down. The weather was glorious on the travel down which was great as everyone had previously been competing in the cold weather or rain. When we met at the hotel in Basingstoke we decided to have a team meal.   Although my car got lost, apparently going straight over 3 roundabouts is a hard task for me!

It was an early night for the team after the grub as we were up and ready for our team meeting on Sunday morning at 9 o’clock.   I had been stressing about my speech all week, as we had a small team I needed a good motivational speech to gee everyone up but when it came up it was “every little helps today so a point is better than none!” –  inspirational!

Heading down to the track we parked up to no sun but plenty of wind and a long walk to the track (down the hill past the bowling green past the toilets and the track was in the middle of a park ) looking at the other team they were looking as depleted as ours so we started building hopes, we could do alright.  The field events were our strong points I know the runners wont mind me saying that.

We started strongly getting a 3A and 2B in the hammer with Katy Wilson and myself and 2A and 2B in the long jump, with  Alex Russell jumping a blinder to be 2cm off Dominique Blaze along with Rachel Williamson jumping well in the B’s.

Alex and Rachel did an awesome job in the triple jump with a great distance of 11m17 for alex and 12+ for Rachel.

The track events were covered by Faye horrocks who had some cracking races in the 100/200m with Kate brick.  Tracy Dutton (endurance group) ran miles on the Sunday with the 800, 1500 and 3000!   She was picking athletes off in the 3000 to finish well.

Amy Richards and Sam Frazer did incredibly well in the high jump jumping 1.55 and 1.65 respectibly to both finish 2^nd.   They were jumping in very windy conditions however both felt disgruntled with their heights!  Ladies the points are where it counted in Southampton and points win prizes!

Discus was a hard comp with a lot of competitors getting over 40m but Katy and myself weren’t last so that was a bonus.   I think me stressing about the upcoming 400m which I volunteered for was hampering my competitions – ha ha.

The 400m saw Faye and myself running and finished well although the track was waiting on me so running up the home stretch I thought best to give them something worth waiting for and did a cartwheel over the finish line!!! (for someone to say I hadn’t pointed my toes a few tourettes came out)

Emma Holmes did brilliantly in the steeplechase and managed a good smile all the way round to get invaluable points for the team as she did in the 100mH and 400mH.   Then no sooner had she finished the steeplechase she was doing the relays,  we came last in these relays,  however we had two sprinters a steeple chaser and a thrower in there so the time was incredible from my point of view and with only 10 team members to only finish 2 points of the above team I think it was an awe inspiring rally of all those that competed.

Faye horrocks did incredibly well on Sunday having a lot of running to do in the 100m, 200m, 400m and both relays.   I felt gutted she had to run so much and especially only recently getting over illness but she did remarkably well so for me she was my Athlete of the Match.

I would personally on behalf of everyone at Wigan harriers say a massive thank you to all that travelled to Southampton and did exceptional performances.  Roll on our home match where we hope to have more athletes and show these team what the RED and BLACK ARMY can do.

Well said Bethan!  Congratulations and well done athletes on your excellent performances and for making the journey to Southampton.
