Saturday 21st July 2001: I have been away in Australia for the last couple of weeks competing in the World Veterans Athletics championships at Brisbane. Also competing there were Dot Fraser, Judi Stafford and Denise Timmis. A report on these championships will be available soon. While I have been away, there have been some outstanding individual and team performances.

Pride of place goes to Rachael Nathan who is the new English Schools Inter Girls Athletics Champion over 3000m. At Exeter (July 6th/7th), she competed against girls a year older than herself and in a remarkable run, finished more than the length of the home straight ahead of the runner up, just missing the championship best performance.

The sky is the limit for Rachael it seems, and a sparkling international career looks very likely for her. She starts her international career by representing England in the home countries schools international taking place today in Tullamore, Ireland. She has also been notified that she has been selected for England under 19's in an international at Bole in France on Sunday 29th July. To achieve this at only 15 years of age just shows what an exceptional young athlete, Rachael is!!!

There were 3 other Lincoln Wellington Athletes who competed at Exeter. Matt Bowser, Rowena Harrison and Jenny Pacey have joined the elite ranks of young school athletes who have competed with distinction for Lincolnshire against the best opposition in England. Read Rob's report from Exeter.

There was an outstanding team performance by the men in their 3rd Northern Mens League Division 2 SE match at Derby on July 7th. The team won the match and now only have to turn up in the last match at Barnsley to guarantee a place in the promotion match for Division 1. Like last year, the team will want to finish the league season as champions. Read Rob's report on this match.
