In the Anglian Schools athletics championships, held at Norwich, Hunts AC athletes piled up 5 wins, 2 second-place finishes and 4 thirds.  Julian Priest completed the sprint double, taking 1st in both the Inter Boys 100m and 200m.  After breaking the club record over 300m last weekend, Shannon Flockhart stepped up in distance to win the Inter Girls 1500m by 8 seconds.  Her time of 4:38.1 places her in the top 20 in the country (U17W) and is the fastest time by a Hunts AC female of any age over the past 15 years.  Shannon's training partner Katie Wright picked up gold in the Inter Girls 300m hurdles in 54.9 secs.  In the Junior Boys triple jump, Ayo Opaleye saved his best jump for the last round as he bounded out to 12.42m which beat his club U15B record by 17 cms and moves him up from 13th to 7th in the national rankings.  Running in the Inter Boys 80m hurdles, Joe Purbrick clipped a tenth of a second off his personal best with 11.4 secs to finish as runner-up.  Joe currently sits solidly in the top 10 in the country with his time. In the Inter Boys discus, Thomas Smith finished 2nd with 32.46m, an improvement of 10 feet over his previous best effort.  He later placed 3rd in the discus. Third place finishes went to Eleanor Phipps in the Senior Girls pole vault with a new personal best of 2.00m, Issy Wilkins in the Junior Girls 1500m and Ella Reed who long jumped 4.92m in the Junior Girls, the furthest by a Hunts AC female since 2007.

Huntingdonshire AC athletes enjoyed great success at the Cambridgeshire county schools championships held at Peterborough track.  Having won five titles last year, Hunts AC athletes almost doubled the total this year with nine first-place finishes.  Equally as impressive, Hunts AC athletes will go on to contest 14 events at the Anglian Schools championships in Norwich this weekend compared to 6 last year.  Leading the way, Shannon Flockhart won the Inter Girls 300m with 41.8 secs which broke Lily Seach's Under 17 and Under 20 Women's club records of 42.1 secs set back in 2008.  Katie Wright secured her place in the Anglians by finishing in the runner-up position with a season's best of 44.4 secs.  Ayo Opaleye claimed first in the junior boys triple jump with his first-round leap of 12.15m and also gained an Anglian champs spot by finishing 2nd in the 200m with 24.9 secs.  In the Junior Girls 100m, Lizzy Harrison sped to victory in 13.2 secs while Ella Reed ran a personal best 13.4 secs for third place.  Ella went on to win the long jump with 4.70m and book her place in Norwich for this coming weekend.  Competing in the Inter Boys sprints, Julian Priest comfortably won the 100m in 11.3 secs and followed up with the 200m win later in the day with 22.8 secs.  With very little training under his belt since March due to a back injury, Joe Purbrick nevertheless ran a big personal best 11.5 to not only win the Junior Boys 80m hurdles but to also shoot up to 5th in the U15B national rankings.  Finishing 2nd in the same race with 13.0 secs, Spencer Taylor showed a wide range of talent by also placing 2nd in the 800m in a personal best 2:14.9.  Issy Wilkins took the lead in the Junior Girls 1500m from the start and front ran to victory in 5:11.2.  In the throws, Thomas Smith took 1st in the Inter Boys hammer throw with a new best of 28.84m and later placed 2nd in the discus with yet another best with 33.40m.
