LWAC - Charnwood Open - Loughborough

A group of Lincoln Wellington athletes made the journey to the Loughborough Open meeting and, despite having to cope with the prevailing cool and breezy conditions, they notched up some good early season performances. Hannah Dunderdale soon had a win on the board when taking the U15 Girls 100m in 14.2s. Ian Maplethorpe won his heat of the U17 Mens 200m in 28.1s and, in the same age group, Joe Dunderdale was 2nd in the 100m in 14.3s. Jack Cornwell picked up a useful 2nd place in the U20 Mens 400m in 56.5s and there were several good Wellington results in the series of time-graded 800m races which followed. Catrina Thomas was runner-up in race 3 in an excellent U13 Girls time of 2m 38.9s. Gavin Campbell occupied the same position in race 4 in 2m 22.7s. And a fine effort from Jon Humberstone gave him victory in race 5 in 2m 12.9s with Jack Cornwell 3rd in 2m 14.2s and Lara Thomas a very pleasing 4th in 2m 17.0s – setting her up for a good season. Two further promising runs came in race 6 with Chris Woodger taking 2nd place in a good time of 2m 04.9s and Stuart Campbell also doing well to finish 5th in 2m 08.3s. In the 3000m, Mark Baddeley crossed the line 3rd in 9m 31.7s with Nathan Page 6th in 9m 43.0s, Max Ware 7th in 10m 27.6s and Paul Samways 8th in 10m 41.8s.

There were some very creditable field performances with U15 Girl Laura Maplethorpe recording a club record 23.57m in the hammer. In the same age group Lindsey Campbell collected personal bests in the hammer (22.95m) and shot (5.64m). Kathy Warhurst threw the heavier hammer 20.94m and followed up with 17.73m in the discus. There were two personal bests in the pole vault with 2.00m by Joe Dunderdale and 1.80m by sister Hannah.
