Bedford & County were well represented across all age groups and events at the Eastern Counties Championships at Cambridge on 19^th July and came away with a large haul of medals.

At the English Schools Centenary Championships where the athletes paraded through a guard of honour of over one hundred former champions, Bedford & County athletes achieved four medals, claimed six top eight places and set nine lifetime bests.

The silver star was Mia Flynn, whilst Lois Fordham, Zaphaniah Bryan and Thaila-Jade Mason all won bronze medals.

There were some exceptional performances from Bedford & County athletes at the BMC Grand Prix yesterday, at a very hot and sunny Watford.

Congratulations to Sam Winters who set a new club record of 1:49.93 in the 800, finishing second in his race with a perfectly judged effort, after passing the bell in 54.2. This breaks his own club record, and takes the figures under the magic 1:50 barrier for the first time.

Elsewhere, Ed Blythman ran a pb in the 1500, with a very creditable 3:48.09, and there were seasons bests for Alfie Yabsley in the 800 (1:55.03), and for Sam Knee-Robinson (3:52.85) and Lauren Nichols (4:40.59) in the 1500.
