Club Records

2008 has so far seen new members Sally Smith & Lauren Proctor taking the U15 and U17 3000m records, and Bethany Porter, Grace Eyles and Zoe Kerins taking indoor records.

2007 was one of the busiest years for club records! We saw Aine Hoban in scintillating form, breaking the club records at 3000m, 5000m & 10000m whilst studying in the USA, and the returning Martyn Bernard took the club High Jump record into World Class, as well as surprisingly breaking Mike Harrison's long standing Triple Jump record. Emily Freeman was in top form, running new records for 100m, 200m, 300m and 400m, and Charlene Thomas (formerly Snelgrove) twice smashed the 1500m record, as well as moving the Mile record into world class.
In the younger age groups Mikaela Harrison twice ran a new U20 400m record, Jack Hallas broke Richard Hollings' long standing U17 1500m record, with Thomas Atkinson taking the 800m record, and Grace Eyles and Olivia Radcliffe were busy in the U13 girls age group, with Grace now holding 4 records in that age group.

2006 Saw several indoor records being broken, with Zara Hohn's AAA U20 winning performance in the 60m Hurdles breaking both the U20 and Senior record. Emily Freeman showed great form, lowering her 60m record 3 times, and Laura Whittingham broke the long standing Shot Putt record, held since 1975 by Jean Atack.
Outdoors Zara twice lowered her U20 100mH record, and Emily Freeman substantially improved her 100m and 200m records from 4 years ago. For the men Rimantas Martisauskas erased the long standing Shot Putt record of Martyn Fletcher from 1988.

2005 was another good year for records. It saw the two young sprinters Lucy Holmes and Craig Simpson breaking or equalling Club Records, and senior distance running stars Charlene Snelgrove and Aine Hoban trimmed their own records. Zara Hohn was also been in scintillating form, breaking the high hurdles records, and Laura Whittingham broke the Javelin record 4 times, making a major advance into the senior ranks whilst still an U20.

2004 was the busiest year for some time for Club Records. Early in the year we saw several Womens Distance club records go, and at last we had a new Womens Marathon record, with Eileen Mannion recording a very respectable 3hrs 6mins at London. She also recorded a good 20 Mile record during her preparations for London, whilst Julie O'Mara improved her own Half Marathon record.
On the track Zara Hohn re-wrote the 80m & 100m Hurdles records at both U17 and U20 levels, whilst the Hackney sisters were busy in several events. As expected, Naida Bromley smashed the U20 Heptathlon record (twice) in her first year in the age group. Charlene Snelgrove lowered the Womens 800m record three times, and Paul Rice had a hand in three records in the U17 Mens age group.

2003 again saw many new club records, with the girls as in 2002 leading the way.
Our U20 World Cross Country runner Aine Hoban excelled on the track as well, revising the 1500m (twice), 3000m and 5000m records. U20 International Chris Kirk had an outstanding season in the Long Jump, finally beating Alan Slack's U20 and Senior record from 1975, and extending it further when winning the U20 AAA title. Sarah Beevers also broke new ground in the Steeplechase events, whilst Naida Bromley broke the U17 Ladies Heptathlon record 3 times on her way to winning the AAA and English schools titles.

2002 saw many new club records, with the girls in particular revising many of the figures.
Emily Freeman improved all the Senior Ladies sprint records this year, with new figures for 60m indoors, 100m, 200m (during the Commonwealth Games Trials), and at 400m, in her first attempt at the distance ! She was also part of the team revising the 4 x 400m record.
Naida Bromley was also prolific in the U17 age group, with a spectacular long jump of 5.95m, and with an excellent score when winning the AAAs U17 Heptathlon title. She also did very well at 300m & 400m hurdles, with new figures which also broke the U20 records.
Amongst the men U17 athlete Chris Kirk was the most successful, with a new Decathlon record, and with new figures for 60m and 60m hurdles indoors. He also had an excellent season in the long jump, with a best of 7.06m. However he was still some way short of Alan Slack's former UK U17 record of 7.25 from 1975.
