A near clean sweep of the gold medals for the Lincoln Wellington U13 Boys squad spearheaded a fantastic first day for the club at the Lincolnshire track and field championships at Grantham. Haran Dunderdale performed particularly well to win the javelin with 30.37m, the high jump with 1.35m and the 1500m in
5m 11.9s with Alex Willerton runner-up in 5m 30.2s. Alex Humberstone cleared 4.24m to win the long jump and Josh Drotleff was 2nd in the 100m in

13.1s. The U17 Mens 1500m steeplechase went to Stuart Campbell in a very good time of
4m 40.3s. In the same age group, the 1500m resembled a Wellington club championship with Chris Woodger scoring in
4m 19.6s with Ian Maplethorpe 2nd in 4m 21.2s, Nathan Page 4th in 4m
26.6s and Jon Humberstone 5th in 4m 38.2s. Jack Skeet took the 400m title in good style in 53.1s and Joe Dunderdale was 2nd in the javelin with 39.18m and 3rd in the shot with 9.40m. A smart performance from Shane Robinson in the 400m hurdles with a time of 62.5s provided the only
U20 Mens win of the day but useful placed efforts came from Josh Spering and Jack Cornwell who were 2nd and 3rd in the 400m in 56.0s and 56.8s respectively. Max Ware finished in 3rd place in the 1500m in
4m 24.8s. A strong contender for performance of the meeting came from Tom Doe in the senior men’s 3000m steeplechase. His winning time of
9m 14.0s took over 30 seconds off the previous championship best performance. New member Marc Afford won the 400m hurdles in 61.7s and Steve Gregory made a welcome return to the track following injury lay-off by taking the 400m in 51.9s with Craig Maskell 2nd in

4m 52.5s but Hester Talbot was not far behind in a personal best 4m
55.4s. A good tussle in the U20 Womens 400m saw Lara Thomas emerge on top with a win in 59.9s from Rochelle Harrison 2nd in
60.7s. Lucinda Pitcher was another all the way winner in the senior women’s 1500m in
4m 57.2s and there were wins for Nina Swaby in the 100m in 13.8s and the triple jump with 8.92m. Denise Timmis and Kathy Warhurst contested some of the veteran events. The former won the 100m in the V45 age group in 14.3s and the latter was 2nd in the V40 discus with a club record 19.49m.
