Manchester International with @englandathletics & @officialteamengland

Last weekend 3 Welly athletes took to the Sport City Stadium to represent our club, and country ❤️🤍🖤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Callum Winchester-Wright placed 2nd in the men’s 100m open event, clocking a wind-assistee 10.56s ⚡ he also gained his first England vest for the 4x100m relay, and was the third leg. Sadly, the baton was dropped in the first changeover, meaning he did not run. This is the life of a sprint relay team, yet Callum made a fantastic impression on the England coaches.

Debbie O’Connell went next in the women’s 100m Para Ambulant Challenger, going through in 14.18s in what was a very well contested line up. In the 200m she battled hard down the home straight, neck and neck with her opponent and pip them to the finish to place 2nd in 29.22s.

Finally, Mabel Akande raced the women’s 100m open event and stormed home in 11.37s to secure the win, before also representing her country in the 4x100m relay. More controversy unfolded here too, with a fall from her teammate, before picking themselves up and getting the baton round, with Mabel anchoring the team across the line.

All in all, a very successful day for our sprinters!

Thank you for the amazing 📸, we really appreciate your support:

I make no apologies for posting more pictures of #mastersathlete Dorothy Fraser, 88, in action in the 100m at Yate & District Athletics Club last Sunday. Dorothy exemplifies the spirit of #mastersathletics, training and competing throughout the year, with the support of her tight-knit ‘gang’ of friends and fellow athletes, through the ups and downs of later life (and that includes having a serious stroke). I wanted to show these pictures too because people outside the world of #masterssport are unused to seeing men and women in their 80s and beyond giving their all in a physical event. We may be familiar with seeing the look of utter exhaustion and effort on the faces of youngsters competing in open events, but not so with the ‘elderly’ (I dislike that word so much – carrying, as it does, overriding connotations of frailty and infirmity!). My goodness, the uninitiated might think, is she all right, exerting herself so much and so clearly out of breath? Well, I think Dorothy’s smile when she crossed the finishing line tells you that she’s very much all right 😀 In fact she’s exhilarated and delighted with knowing she ran a great race in a good time (28.60secs, since you ask) 👍👏🌻 Dorothy, we all salute and love you 💕

@britishmilersclub Grand Prix – World Athletics Challenger – Birmingham!

It’s been some weekend for competing, whether that be track, field, road or otherwise! We still have the @northernathletics age group champs to update you on, and a boat load of club records to come. For now, here’s Saturdays #BMC GP images and results concerning the club.

@mollie.grant27 stormed to a new PB and club record (breaking her own, yet again!) as an U17W in the 800m A race! She finished 5th in a very senior field, just outside of the European Qualifying time in 2:04.84 for the Adidas-sponsored athlete.

@ev.brookss & @islap_run went in the women’s 1500m B race, with the former delivering a 6th place finish with a 4:22.41 whilst back from Wingate University, USA, where she has delivered a recent track mile PB. Isla performed brilliantly with 4:29.79!

@indiabarwell raced in the women’s 5000m A race and delivered a superb 16:14.40, taking a massive 28 seconds off her BUCS Outdoor Champs time from only a month ago, another huge track PB for the 16:09 5k road U20!

@jstraw1994 began the men’s 5000m B race but unfortunately was forced off around the midway point. We wish him well in his next race and training 🙏
