We began this weekend – Saturday May 3rd with a new Club Record for the U15 Girls 4 x 300m which was so good that it was better than the records for both U20 Women and Senior Women. One day later that became two new Club Records when David Holman clocked 3.39.74 for the 1500m in America. Move forward 24 hours and it was our third Club Record in three days as U20 Charlie Unsworth broke Peter Beavan’s record for 200m set in 1970 at 21.50. Charlie clocked 21.46 with a 0.9 wind at Trafford today – Monday May 5th – to set himself a new PB and a Club Record. The time also puts Charlie in at Number 4 in the National U20 Rankings. In addition, In the Stadium after his race, it was announced that Charlie, who is 17yrs old, ran an All-Comers Record at Trafford for his age group and ran the 2nd fastest U20 time ever run at Trafford.

I knew the competition would be tough as there were some great runners, but I really wanted a PB, and I’m very happy with my time.” Good to see the Sportshall youngsters having a go on the Bank Holiday Open as Harris Rawlinson ran 2.04.71 in 4th place in the 600m followed by jumping out to 3.15m in the Long Jump.
