The Vale had 31 athletes in action at the Bucks County Track and Field Championships in Milton Keynes across the 9th – 10th May.
Our athletes came away with 24 top 3 placings with most of those getting medals (older age groups have different medal to competitor ratios so not all 3 medals were awarded in all events.)
In all, the club had 14 first places with victories coming for Gabriella (U16 Girls), Mark Fallaize (V35+ Men), Frank Martin (V50+ Men) and Amanda Esslemont (V35+ Women) in the 800m. Mark also won the 1500m in his age category.
Our field eventers had a great championships with wins for Clara (U14 Girls) in the Long Jump, Isabella (U16 Girls) doubling up with Javelin and Shot Put titles and the duo of Lexie (U18 Girls) and William Smith (Senior Men) completing a trio of wins each in the Discus, Javelin and Shot Put.
Second places came from Clara in the 200m, Zachary (U16 Boys) in the 300m, Ronen (U16 Boys) in the 800m, Frank in the 1500m, Isabella in the Discus and Poppy A (U14 Girls) in the Javelin.
Our three 3rd places were made up from Mark in the 400m, Oscar (U14 Boys) and Sophie (U16 Girls) in the 800m and Harvey (U14 Boys) in the 1500m.
A large contingent also set personal bests throughout the weekend!
