01/09/2019  Milton Keynes Open  details
In his only track race of the season, Dave Connell ran 6:52.9 for the 2000m steeplechase. This was a tantalising 0.1 away from his club veteran men’s record set in 2017 but, as consolation, Dave is 2nd in the M40 national rankings. On the flat, Tom Waterworth placed 3rd in his 800m race (first U13B) with 2:29.1, his season’s best and second-fastest time ever. In the field, Thomas Smith picked up a couple of U17M wins (DT 30.69, HT 31.44) while Alasdair Large threw a PB in the U13B shot put with 5.25m.

08/09/2019  East Anglian League Final, Bury St Edmunds  details

Huntingdonshire AC's star continues to rise as it made a significant impact at the East Anglian League final at Bury St Edmunds.  In a format where the top eight clubs from each of the eight age categories from Under 13s to Seniors contest the final, Hunts AC excelled as their Under 13 Girls and Under 17 Men teams finished as runners-up, in both cases against the powerhouse club City of Norwich AC.  Never before had a Hunts AC team ever finished in the top three. 

Of the 21 clubs in the East Anglian League, 14 had at least one team in the final. Hunts AC had seven.  Adding all team scores together, Hunts AC finished 4th behind Norwich, Ipswich and Cambridge.  As recently as 2011, Hunts AC had no teams in the final.  On an individual basis, Hunts AC athletes produced eight A string winners and set two club records.  In the Under 17 Men's competition, Jason Bogle stormed to victory in the 100m sprint as he equalled his personal best with 11.4 secs.  Late call-up Julian Priest took part in his first-ever 400m race and was rewarded with the A string win.  After storming off as though he were in a 200m race, Julian built up such a lead after three quarters of the race, that he was able to hold on grimly to win by six-tenth of a second with 52.2 secs.  Jason and Julian later teamed up with Brandon Alves and Nikolaos Tirchineci to finish 2nd,  just 0.2 secs behind Norwich with 45.6 secs, beating the club record of 45.7 set by Mat Hick, Sam Durnan, Owain Collard and Owen King in 2014.  If the four Hunts AC athletes had had just one opportunity to practice relay changeovers, they would have run sub 45 seconds.  Watch out Senior record (44.4) and Junior record (44.5) next year.  Out in the field, U17M Thomas Smith dominated the throws with a hat-trick of victories in the shot put (11.06m), discus (33.23m) and hammer (31.01m).  Thomas has been an absolute mainstay of the U17M team this year.  Such was the strength in depth in the Under 13 Girls team, that with just one victory, they still took the overall runner-up spot.  The one win came from Moria Howard who finished first in the A string shot put with 8.47m.  This was not just a personal best but also moved her up to 41st in the national rankings; not bad for someone who is a  multi-eventer and not a throws specialist.  Competing in the Senior Women's triple jump, veteran athlete Jo Abel triple jumped out to 10.05m for 3rd place and a club veteran's record, beating her 9.92m achieved when winning the M45 national title the month before.  Her distance not only tightened her grip on her 2nd place standing in the W45 national rankings but also saw her crack into the all-time top 10 rankings.  In the Under 13 Boys shot put, Max Jackson won the A string event by close to one metre with 9.26m.  Adding 26 cms to his personal best, Max jumped up to 48th in the national rankings.  In the Under 15 Girls 100m, Lizzy Harrison won to continue her outstanding run of success over the space of eight days.

1 Sep - Broke the 20-year-old U15G 200m record in the England Athletics Championships at Bedford with 26.10 secs.

3 Sep - Broke her own U15G 150m with 19.4 secs at the Hunts AC intra-club meet, followed by running in the 4x200m relay team which broke the U17W, U20W and SW club records by 6.5 secs and went to 5th in the national rankings.
7 Sep - Represented Cambridgeshire at the Southern Track & Field U15/U20 Inter County Champs at Horspath, finishing 2nd in her 100m heat with 12.62w.

8 Sep - Won the East Anglian League U15G 100m in 12.8 secs.

It is a single lap starting on the RAF base and finishing next to their playing fields. The weather conditions were excellent, so there were no excuses for not running a good time on this fast flat course through a couple of the local villages. Ty ran a very good race indeed, finishing 6th overall, and second vet in a time of 34:26. Alan had a good run finishing 59th overall in a time 47:31. There were 121 finishers.
