LYTHAM ST ANNES ROAD RUNNERS JUNIOR SECTION

Well done to all the Juniors who competed in the 14th May Race and especially Charlotte Rogan, Natasha Hart and Simon Holt who all ran personal best times.

Two of the club’s juniors competed in the Lancashire Track & Field championships at Stanley Park. Ella Moulding ran in the U13 girls 1500m and, despite having never raced the distance before and being at the lower end of the age group, she produced a superb performance to finish 4^th in 5:27.5. Camryn Spector ran in the U15G 800m and despite her relative lack of experience on the track she ran a very strong race to finish 4^th in her heat in a personal best time of 2:47.3.

Monday 23rd April saw the first scoring handicap race for the Monday Athletics group. Max Pendergest was first across the finishing line with Rebecca Walker not to far behind to take second place and Ben Reid was third back. There were six personal best times and the results for the race can be found at Monday Handicap results 23 Apr 12 and the totals table at Handicap Scores Monday
