Shildon 20th May 2007

Sadly only 15 young athletes turned up for the YAL meeting at Shildon on
Sunday 20 May. Consequently the team finished in 4th place with only South
Shields below us (they only had 7 athletes). However there were some good
performances.

Matthew Sinclair won the track male athlete of the match for his sprint double
performances winning the u/13 100 metres in 14.3 and the 200 in 29.9.  Jack
Young won the B  u/13 200 metres in 32.1.

Hayley Robertson was 2nd in the under 17 long jump.  Sophie Waller 4th in
the A and Kay Brannon 2nd in the B of the under 15 long jump.

Daniel Adamson ran 2 personal bests 12.6 to finish 3rd in the under 17 100
metres and 25.5 to finish 2nd in the 200 metres

Grace Johnson won the under 17 200 metres and 300 metres with times of
28.2 and 47.3

John Rutherford won the under 15 boys shot Laura Mole ran 11.5 to finish
4th in the under 13's 75 metres

It was in the female high jump where the Poly scored best with Laura Mole
(1.05m) finishing 2nd in the under 13 competition.  In the under 15 Sophie
Waller (1.30m) won the A string with Charlotte Scott (1.20m) winning the B
string.  In the under 17 competition Grace Johnson (1.55m) won the A string
and Hayley Robertson (1.35m) won the B string.

The next meeting is on Sunday 03 June at The Riverside in Chester-le-Street
where it is hoped the Poly will have a stronger team out.
