A superb track and field season for the athletes of Lincoln Wellington has ended with
13 individuals from the club being listed in the top 20 of the national rankings.
Leading the way was U15 Girl Hannah Dunderdale, who was 4th in the
Pentathlon rankings with 2981 points and also took 5th place in the 400m listings with a late season 60.8s.
A terrific all-round season was completed with further top 20 performances in the
Long Jump, Shot, Javelin and 75m Hurdles. Also in the U15 Girl's age group, rising star Emma Tonner placed 16th at 3000m with
10m 36.35s and 17th in the 1500m with 4m 44.21s. In the U17
Women's age group, Ellis Whyler placed 7th in the 100m Hurdles with
16.1s. Wellington has produced a number of good steeplechasers in recent seasons and the trend continued.
Nathan Page placed 6th in the U17 Men's 1500m rankings with 4m 32.94s and Ian Maplethorpe was not too far behind him in 16th place with
4m 39.0s. In the U20 Women's Steeplechase, Blue Haywood was 6th in the 1500m in
5m 10.8s and 7th in the 2000m in 7m 15.88s. And Lara Thomas was close up in 8th place in both events with
5m 12.97s and 7m 20.53s respectively. In the U13 Girl's age group,
Allison Mouzon made the top 20 in two events with a Pentathlon score of 2173 points for 11th place and a
High Jump of 1.45m for 20th. In the same age group, Catrina Thomas produced an excellent 1500m time of
5m 04.31s for 9th place. The Seniors were represented by Lydia Chamberlin, who took 11th spot in the
Heptathlon with 5063 points and backed this up with a fine High Jump clearance of 1.76m which put her in 20th place.
After a good few years of weakness in the field events, the rankings showed a corner has now been turned for Wellington in that area.
Dominic Sykes picked up 5th place in the U15 Boy's Hammer rankings with 53.72m and, in the
U17 Women's Hammer, a throw of 45.77m by Sarah Stanhope gave her 6th place.
The final ranking places went to U17 Joe Dunderdale, who emulated his sister with some very good all-round results.
His Decathlon score of 5068 points gave him 7th place and he was also 11th in the
Javelin with 59.14m and 16th in the Octathlon with a score of 4531 points.
