Congratulations to Lily Farr, who finished an excellent 21st in the Inter Girls race at the English Schools Cross Country Championships last weekend.
Lily was boxed in the stampede of 343 runners at the start and found it difficult to negotiate the phalanx of runners spread across the course in front of her. As space eventually began to open up, she worked her way through the field from 75th place to finish an outstanding 21st - only 10 seconds behind 10th place and an international vest.
Theo Beale also enjoyed a good run to finish 88th in a field of 329 runners. Congratulations to all the Bedford and County athletes who took part.
Congratulations to Stephen Simmons, who has broken two Senior Men's club indoor records this winter. Stephen's new marks are 5069 points for the Heptathlon, set at Sheffield on 6th January, and 8.34 seconds for the 60m Hurdles, set at Lee Valley on 2nd December.
Congratulations to Edith Caux, who has set two new W65 club records over the last few days. Edith's new records are for 200m (32.13 seconds) and 400m (75.78 seconds). These were set in Lyon, France on 1st and 2nd March respectively.
Congratulations to Lois Fordham, who set a new Club Under 15 Girls Indoor Pole Vault best at Lee Valley at the weekend - Lois's new mark is 2.55 metres.
Congratulations to Jemma Eastwood, who set a new Masters Indoor Club Record recently. Jemma Pole Vaulted 3.31 metres at Lee Valley on 25th February, which is a W45 Club Record (and also higher than her own W40 Club Record).
