25/09/2018  10,000m Club Championships  details

Dave Hudson broke his track PB by almost a minute to win the club 10000m senior men's title  in 32:47.1.  This was the second-fastest time over the past 21 years, beaten only by Mark Harris's 32:37.2 set in 2013.  Causing a stir in second place, Ty Farrer not only won the veteran men's title with a 70-second personal best of 33:28.3 but also took 36 seconds off Hugh Barnfather's club veteran's men record of 34:04.6 set 36 years ago.  Ty is now at 19th in the M40 national rankings but, had he run this race next week, he'd be ranked 3rd in the M45 national rankings (early Happy Birthday, Ty).  Kelly Crawford won the senior women's title with 44:30.2 while Ieva Klavina took the veteran woman's race just six seconds behind.

16/09/2018  East Anglian League Final, Bury St Edmunds  details

Hunts AC had a satisfying end to the league season with over 60 of it athletes competing in this final.  Out of 20 clubs in the league, Hunts AC had seven of eight teams in the final with only a senior men's team missing out.  Within the U13G, U13B, U15G, U15B, U17W and U17M competitions, only four clubs had teams in all six of these groups � Norwich, Ipswich, Cambridge and us.  As Kuldip Digpal put it very well, �We�re punching above our weight.�  Out of all of our teams, our Under 15 Boys did the best by finishing 3rd ahead of some big city clubs (Peterborough, Cambridge, Southend).  The following were our top performers:

U13G Shot Putt A - 1st Willow Bedding 8.33, B - 1st Tamzin Digpal-Race 8.02m (first time over 8m)

U15G 100m A - 1st Lizzy Harrison 12.8 (another year to go yet as an U15G!)
