PB’s for Harriers at Bury – Stephen top 5 Vets at Wrexham 10k

Jul 25, 2024

BMC night at Bury on Wednesday July 24th with a number of Blackburn Harriers young athletes participating. First up was bottom of age Millie Jordan who was in the first 800m race featuring U15’s – Millie being the only female athlete – clocking 2.21.53. Bella McCredie was next up in an all female U15 800m race in which she clocked a new PB of 2.34. 41 with a pretty good finish. Logan McCredie was in a mixed age 800m race with just himself and one other U17’s alongside U20’s and Vets. Logan ran a focused and determined race to clock 2.02.72 in 6th position. U17 Ethan Cutler was the next Harrier to take on the 800m and again in a mixed age group race – Ethan stayed in contention and got boxed with 200m to go and had to come out wide to make headway, coming with a really quick last 50m to set himself a new PB of 2.08.88. Moving up in distance to the 1500m, which had U17 Sam Aspey in race 3 featuring eleven athletes – Sam was with the front runners the whole way and gave it everything in the home straight to set himself a massive new PB by six seconds – 4.10.95 in 3rd spot. Last Blackburn Harrier on the track – around 9.00pm – was U17 Henry Ward who was determined to say close to the front the whole three and three quarter laps and it paid off for him taking the win with a toughed out finish in a time of 4.23.69.

In the Throws V60 Tony Balko and new member – U17 Lincoln Briggs – took on the Discus and Shot Putt. Tony had a good night setting himself two new PB’s, firstly in the Discus (1kg) with a throw of 39.37m and then in the Shot Putt (5kg) with 10.7m. Lincoln was in his first competition and did really well, throwing 34.51m in the Discus (1.5kg) and 11.17m in the Shot Putt (5kg).
