Monday 26th September 2005:
A combined team from Lincoln Wellington, Lakeside & Lincoln &
District competed in the Round Norfolk Relay over the weekend.
The team finished 30th overall and 5th in category, exceeding
expectations and finishing 1hr 41mins earlier than planned.
Although this caused some runners and supporters to have much less
sleep than expected (or none!), it was an excellent performance.
Full results now available on the Round
Norfolk Relay website. A full report should be available
here later this week.
Thursday 22nd September 2005:
Congratulations to Lincoln Wellington AC athlete Lydia Chamberlin, who
finished 5th in the English Schools Senior Girls Heptathlon
competition in Southampton last weekend. Lydia achieved a
personal best and club record time of 14.6s in the 100m Hurdles.
This helped her to achieve another club record on 4377 points overall
in the Heptathlon. The English Schools multi-events
championships is the biggest event of its kind in the world.
Saturday 10th September 2005:
A significantly under-strength Wellington team had a disappointing
time at today's Northern League playoff match for promotion to
Division 1. With several team regulars missing, the team
finished 6th. Full
results available here. On the plus side, a number of
age-group club records were set by Dot
Fraser, Mal Bramhall and Nigel Winchcombe.
Tuesday 30th August 2005:
Two more club records were set during the
the Golden Jubilee Plate final at Bedford on Saturday. Lydia
Chamberlin equalled her record in the U20W 100mH with 16.20s and the
4x100 mens team of Steve Swaby, Dan Hill, Tom Duffield and Steve
Blagdon ran 44.66s. Congratulation to them all.
Friday 26th August 2005:
Congratulation to Nigel Winchcombe, who today has won a silver medal
at the World Masters Championships in San Sebastian,
Spain.
Nigel threw 53.52m in the M45-49 Hammer competition. Just for
good measure, this is a club record as well. This caps an
excellent season for Nigel, who now has a full set of medals from World Masters championships, Bronze in Brisbane, Australia in
2001, Gold in Puerto Rico in 2003 and now Silver in San Sebastian, Spain in 2005.

Sunday 14th August 2005:
The LWAC track and field team capped a very fruitful few weeks last
weekend when coming from behind to take the Northern League Division
2EC title after a convincing win at Derby. This means that the
team qualify for the playoff for promotion to Division 1. This
will take place at Cleckheaton on 10th September. To cap the day off,
Geoff Powley - the men's team manager - led from the front by setting
a V40 club record of 15mins 05.8secs in the
3000m steeplechase. Read
the match report by Becki Jones. In recent weeks, the team have also
qualified for the GRE/BAL Plate Final at Bedford on 27th August and the
Northern Inter-Club Cup Final at Cudworth on 28th August. These
are excellent performances from a relatively small squad. Very
well done to all concerned and let's hope for success in the finals.
Monday 1st August 2005:
Lydia Chamberlin has updated the club records
again. This time she beat her own U20 100mH record with a 15.2 s
run in the Northern Cup match at Cudworth on Saturday.
Thursday 28th July 2005: Results from last night's
third LWAC Summer Series races are now
available. Despite the foul weather, Again there was some good racing, including a
race-long battle between Ashley Smith and Elliot Haywood. Ashley
eventually won by one second, setting a new club
record of 17mins 10secs in the process.
Wednesday 27th July 2005:
Well done to Claire McCracken, who set a club
record at the recent AAA/World Trials in Manchester. Claire

Four more club records fell at a windy and
wet Boston track yesterday. Hannah Dunderdale took two U11 Girls

Vault. Dot Fraser added to her record list with 17.37m in the
