2nd July 2000 - Robin Park Stadium, Wigan



Aine Hoban - U17 800m

Wakefield Harriers travelled to Robin Park in Wigan for the second match of three in the Girls McDonald's Premier League - and came back with a third place. The club had several athletes missing for various reasons, with a tough match ensuing, especially against the home club.

Many of the athletes had to perform in events that maybe weren't their strongest, but they nevertheless did well to earn some valuable match points.

U15 sprinters Laura Robinson and Nicole Welsh both won in the A and B races respectively, producing excellent times along the way. Robinson had a sprint double after winning the longer 200m sprint by several metres. Lindsey Green also had a good day winning the B U15 long jump.

In the B shot, Laura Teasdale won the U13 age group, while notable second places came from Vicky Lambert, Vicki Lockwood, Amy Fozzard, Olivia Smith, Zoe Gowland, Sara Delahunt, Lisa Hall and Louise Shaw.

The final match totals saw Wigan Harriers clear winners on 443 points, with weakened Wakefield finishing third, although they were only seven points behind runners-up Gateshead Harriers.

Match result: Wigan District Harriers 443, Gateshead Harriers 321, Wakefield Harriers 314, Bingley Harriers 294, Hull Springhead 227, Spenborough and District 221, Tynedale 174, North Shields Polytechnic 139.
