V70 Mike Hazlewood is still going strong and was recently competing over five Throwing events at the British Masters Championships. Mike spoke to the Club after the Championships telling us that his “Distances were well down on last year but considering I had to walk with a stick for most of Jan & missed 6 weeks training I was happy that hips & knees held out!!”

Benjamin and George Whittaker were both making their debut at U17 & U15 and had a very good day even though they were bottom of their age groups at the Indoor fixture at Sportscity setting some new PB’s. Benjamin started off in U17 – 60m – letting nerves get the better of him a bit, he still came 3rd in his heat posting a time of 8.03secs in his first ever attempt at the distance.

Benjamin ran a more confident 200m sprint, winning his heat with a time of 25.57 – a new PB which he was really pleased with after only joining the Harriers 12months ago. Benjamin said he “found running on the indoor track a little strange but was pleased overall with how his day had gone. He’s been training hard and says he’s ready for the start of the outdoor season next month”.
George enjoyed his debut in 200m sprint of the U15 race, finishing with a time of 29.12secs, followed by 600m race coming in at 1:52.07 – both of which were new PB’s. George said he enjoyed the races but felt the competition, now he’s at the bottom of his age group with some “very muscular u15s competing against him!”
Bailey Madden added another Indoor win to her Winter Indoor season in the U15 200m with a time of 28.06 – this latest run made it two wins and second for Bailey with 27.63 her fastest time over the three races. U17 Chloe Bleeks posted two seconds in her races with a time of 8.61 in the 60m and 28.40 – a seasons best – in the 200m.
