ESAA Track and Field Results

Among the achievements were the following :

9 achieved life time BP’s

9 achieved top 8 positions

8 achieved National standards.

14 achieved Entry standards

The Junior Girls relay team reached the Final

2^nd place in JB Long Jump beaten by someone who had to beat the ESAA record to achieve 1^st place

Jack Fayers (Westbourne) 2^nd in the Junior Boys Long Jump 6m39

Oliver Graham (Suffolk One) 4^th place in the Senior Boys Hammer  58-04m

Holly Fisher (Farlingaye)  5^th place in the Inter Girls 1500m Steeplechase  5m11.57

Emily Cann (King Edwards) 6^th place in the Junior Girls 100m  12.49s

Junior Girls Relay 6^th place in the 4x100m 50.06s (E Cann, M Baidoo,J Bestley,M King)

Toby Jermyn (Ipswich) 6^th place in the Junior Boys Javelin   47m35

Millie King (East Bergholt) 7^th place in the Junior Girls 200m  23.65s

Michael Van Haren (Sir John Leman) 7^th place in the Junior Boys Shot 12m40

Janae Duporte-Clarke (Suffolk One) 8^th place in the Senior Girls Triple Jump  11m27

You will be aware of the fact that we invariably take two or three athletes who show real promise or steady improvement but have not reached ESAA Entry standard.

Millie King had achieved 99.6% of the entry standard but at the ESAA took nearly 3 seconds of her best time in the JG 200m, an amazing improvement.

Toby Jermyn had achieved 97.9% of the ESAA JB Shot entry standard prior to the event but at the ESAA Championships improved by 4 metres to gain a National standard badge

Overall a much improved performance compared to last year’s disappointing one with a very promising set of results from the Juniors who scored nearly twice as many points as the Inters and Seniors put together.

In any one event the 1^st gets 8 points 2^nd gets 7 points etc and 8^th gets 1 point. 1 point for those reaching Entry standard and 2 points for National standard. Maximum therefore of 10 for any individual.

This ought to enable us to stay in Group C and not drop to the bottom group (Group D) which would result in Suffolk being allowed only 22 athletes not 32 at the next Championship.

Our thanks to John Yorke, Michael Fuller, Georgina Malster, Duncan Jackson, Becky Guy and Chloe Godbold for doing a super job as Team managers.
