(46) ENGLAND ATHLETICS U17/U15 TRACK & FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS, BEDFORD, 26TH/27TH AUGUST 2017
Congratulations to Jaleel Roper (Hercules Wimbledon AC) who set a new Surrey Record and equalled the existing UK Record for the Under-15 Boy's 200m when he won the Final on Sunday with a time of 22.13/+1.3. The previous Surrey record of 22.55 was set by Robert Hunt (Woking AC) in 2005. Tyler Panton (Walton AC) who finished third in 22.47/+1.3 also broke the previous record. Both Jaleel and Tyler achieved the same finishing positions in the final of the 100m held on Saturday. George Hopkins (Woking AC) was another double champion following his victories in the Under-15 Boys Pole Vault & Javelin. Pippa Earley (Kingston AC & Polytechnic H) also set a new Surrey Record and set a new UK Record for the Under-17 Women's 80m Hurdles with her winning time in the final of 10.97/+0.1. This beat the previous Surrey record of 11.07/+0.2 set by Marcia Sey (Croydon H) when she won this year's English Schools title.
Tom Pollak, chairman of Surrey County AA, has apologised for the fact that Surrey only had one under-15 athlete at the South of England inter-counties meeting at Oxford on Saturday.
This was due to the fact that the person appointed to choose the teams and manage them on the day, at a very late stage, for personal reasons, was forced to withdraw.
It is most unfortunate that about 30 young athletes were deprived of the opportunity to gain a county vest.
(50) ENGLISH SCHOOLS COMBINED EVENTS CHAMPIONSHIPS, BOSTON, 16TH/17TH SEPTEMBER 2017
Congratulations to Pippa Earley (Kingston AC & Polytechnic H) on her Silver Medal in the Intermediate Girls Heptathlon. Her score of 5123 points was better than the existing Surrey record of 4861 points but the average wind speed reading across the Hurdles / 200 metres / Long Jump exceeded 2 metres/second and, therefore, is considered to be a wind-assisted performance for record purposes. However, Pippa had another long jump of 5.56m with a wind speed reading of 2.0m/s which gives an average reading of less than 2.0m/s. Using the 5.56m jump gives a points total of 5102 points which is a new Surrey Under-17 record beating the previous record of 4861 points set by Clover Wynter-Pink (Croydon H) in 1994.
We are also pleased to note that the Chef de Mission for the England Team is Sarah Winckless a member of Epsom & Ewell Harriers and a former Surrey Discus champion.
