North of England Track & Field League - Match 3 (ENG)

Scarborough Athletic Club had their most successful track and field league meeting for 3 seasons, when they finished clear winners of the 3rd of 4 fixtures in the Division 3 match of the Northern League, which was held at the Huntington Stadium York on Sunday 3 July. This was the second victory in the league this season after gaining promotion from Division 4 last year, and as a result, the club is now in an overall lead, and needs a only a third place finish at the final fixture next month, which will be their ‘home’ fixture back at the Huntington Stadium, to seal promotion to Division 2.

A total of 18 club members competed so well at the meeting, that they achieved a total of 24 event wins, 17 of which were achieved by the club’s 8 women athletes, who continue to outscore their male counterparts in the league. Another significant contributing factor to the team’s overall success was that 13 of the 18 club members achieved at least one personal best performance at the meeting.

Louise Brown was the second highest scorer and just one point less than Jenna’s total, after she also competed in 5 events, and also won 3 of them. Her wins which were all in ‘A’ track races, were achieved in the 800, 1500 and 3,000 metres races. In the ‘B’ High Jump she equalled her personal best when finishing as the runner up, and a 3rd spot in the ‘A’ Long Jump added to a significant total of points towards the team’s victory.

...

Oscar Guallar was the sole club representative in the 3,000 steeplechase, in which he achieved another personal best for what is a new event for him, when finishing up in 3rd in the ‘A’ race. He also ran a personal best in the ‘B’ 400 metres Hurdles in which was 3rd and the 4x400 metres.
