There were lots of Bedford and County athletes racing in the Bedford Running Festival this weekend, with some great results across the 5k, 10k, half marathon and 20 mile races.
Megan Reynolds was 1st lady in the 5k with a pb of 21.04, and still only u15 .
Theo Beale was 1st in the 10k with a pb of 34:16.
Molly Blizard was 1st lady in the 10k with a pb of 39:53.
Well done to everyone that ran.
Congratulations to Mia Flynn on setting yet another U15 Hammer record of 44.67M at the Ron Bowden Memorial Throws Meeting in Woodford Green on Sunday 1st September.
Despite having only a few hours sleep following a middle of the night return from holiday, Thaila-Jade Mason secured the long jump silver medal representing Athens at the UK School Games. The winner, Olivia Schrimshaw (Wales and Beijing), is the UK number one and the only athlete to have beaten Thaila, (UK number two) in competion this year. Thaila’s 5.61m was just sufficient to restrict Gracie Osman (England and Atlanta) to 3rd place.
