Eastern Combined Events
Grantham
28-29 June 2008


On Sunday 29th June in her first year as a Junior Girl, Hannah Dunderdale represented Lincolnshire in the Junior Girls age group (year 8 & 9) at Eastern Region Combined Events meeting at Grantham. The Lincolnshire girls competed against athletes from Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Northamptonshire, and Essex with the first 3 individuals qualifying for the national championships along with the first team. Their day started at 11am with the 75m Hurdles where despite a strong cross wind Hannah won her heat in a time of 12.1s.

The shot followed, where she recorded her first PB of the day with a third round throw of 9.85m. They then moved onto the High Jump where Hannah had problems with her run up and the wind eventually clearing 1.34m. With only a few point separating the Lincolnshire, Essex and Norfolk teams, the girls moved onto the Long Jump. In pouring rain, the Hannah responded well recording another PB with her third jump of 4.93m.

After a long arduous day, at 6pm the girls moved to the 800m, where on paper Essex had the fastest two girls. However the Lincs girls put in a magnificent effort to ensure their place in the national final at Birmingham in September. Hannah won the final heat with another PB performance timed at 2m 30.1s.

The individual competition was won by fellow Lincolnshire athlete, Gabby Bangay, with 2955pts. Hannah finished 3rd with 2864pts, achieving English Schools and AAA Grade One standards. With Gabby and Hannah currently ranked first and fifth in the UK, in the age group the Lincolnshire team have a great chance of competing with the best in the finals.
