Sprints coach Sandra Woodman writes:
“Although 2020 was a difficult year for athletes to find competitions and to get back to peak form, there were some great performances from the Yate sprinters as well as several personal best times.
Phoebe Havard was top of the U15 girls’ South West rankings for 100m was with a quick time of 12.82. This ranked her 20th in the UK which is a great achievement for her first year in this age group. She also ran PBs in the 60m indoors (8.29) and the 200m outdoors (27.13).
Max Elliott was first in the South West U20 rankings at 100m with a PB of 11.16 seconds. He ran a speedy 200m (22.45w) and beat off all the local opposition in his last race of the season at Swindon.
Isaac Corey also ran some fast times over 100m (11.35) and 200m (21.99w) putting him high up in the South West U20 rankings.
Daniel Brooks ran PBs indoors over 60m, finishing first in the Midland Counties Series with a swift 6.97 seconds. Despite a recurring injury, he ran a fast but windy 10.79 for 100m outdoors.
Ben Wells took 5th place in 200m indoors in the British Universities Championships in an excellent time of 21.83 seconds, topping the senior South West rankings for 200m,
closely followed by Joshua Snook who ran 21.88 over 200m indoors in the U.S.A.
Other PBs from sprinters in the group included Abi Williams 300m (44.97); Jen Keough 100m (13.72) 200m (28.17); Liam Hillier 100m (12.59); Bea Russe 100m (14.38); Jasmine Richards 60mi (9.10), 100m (13.9), 200m (29.08). Two athletes came close to their 100m best; Leon Walsh (13.82) and Maddox Davies (14.27).
The sprinters trained hard to maintain their fitness during the long first lockdown. Their continuing dedication and commitment are a credit to themselves and the club.
Let’s hope 2021 will bring better prospects for training and competition!"
