Speed Bounce record of 57 bounces in 20 seconds.
In the Under 13 Girls, Amy Kiersey bettered the old shot put record by
just a centimetre with 6.30m. A great throw! However, jamie Sellars
then proceeded to raise the standard even higher with a superb throw of
6.75m to take the record and finish 4th overall in the competition. In
the Under 13 Girls Speed Bounce, Olivia Yates set a magnificent record
of 85 bounces in 30 seconds, only 3 bounces off the National Record of
88! In the Standing Triple Jump, Jo Start (competing in her first
triple jump competition of the season) obliteated the old record of
5.84m with a massive 6.28m.
In the Under 15 Girls, new recruit Bessem Eyong set a shot put record
of 7.62m on the way to helping the girls qualify for the league finals.
It was a similar story in the Under 15 Boys shot, whee Tom Grant,
another new recruit, equalled Tom Willig's 2002 record of 9.24m.
Coach James Clark's Under 15 Boys Speed Bounce record of 86 was broken
