NYSD Track & Field report

Run reports

A chilly Tuesday evening in Middlesbrough saw round 2 of the summer Track and Field meetings. Katie Abel, Vicky Meaby, Kate Butterworth, Emily Chaytor, Lucy Owens and Sophie Owens represented the ladies. Myself, the only gent. I'm happy to report that there were no kit or safety pin issues this time - but a few late arrivals meant a dash to register for the Woman's Discus. I watched on, having been designated chief bag security officer. With the field events you're never quite sure what to expect in terms of the number and calibre of the athletes. On this particular evening the girls were up against some seriously good throwers - and it's fair to say that a podium result was not going to be on the cards. That said,…

NYSD Track + Field Report by Paul

Run reports

Five go to Darlo A lack of kit and safety pins didn't stop 5 intrepid Striders from attending the first NYSD on Tuesday. (you can never bring too many safety pins to events of this nature). Katie Abel, Vicky Meaby and Kate Butterworth represented the ladies whilst Paul Johnson and Michael Burke were the two gents. Everyone did either 1 or 2 events - with good runs in the 1500 metres for Katie and Michael - and solid jumps in the triple jump for Kate and Paul. Performance of the night though went to Vicky with first place in the women's Javelin. If anyone else fancies a go at track and field then the next event takes place on May 2nd at Middlesbrough.

NYSD Track and Field Season

Club News, News, Training

Hello everyone, The first of 6 summer Track and Field meetings takes place on Tuesday 18th April at Eastbourne Sports Complex, Darlington DL1 1LJ. Start time 6pm. Yes, it does clash with a club night, but we're still hoping to get a few members willing to represent the club. We currently don't have a great deal of experience and expertise in track and field, but hope to improve this over the summer with these events. At some point we'll also be looking to arrange a session at the Middlesbrough Sports Village Athletics Stadium - just for club members in a more informal setting - so people can try out the various runs, jumps and throws. Please note that juniors will also be competing, so there will be a little bit…
