Epsom 10 2014 and VAC 10 mile Championships

The race took place in appalling weather conditions, both cold and wet.  There were 217 runners though which was slightly more than in 2013, when the weather was much better.  It was a test of determination and fitness to disregard the conditions, including a flood to run through after the first mile, and enjoy the pleasure of running up and down gentle hills and finish strongly on the long run-in to the Epsom Grandstand.  The facilities there were of course superb and once you had warmed up/dried off after the race you could enjoy a hot drink and cakes before the presentations.

All the  VAC competitors pictured below came away with a gold model and most notable was Tony Tuohy’s 4th place overall, in a time that must rate as one of his best, given the less than flat course and the weather.  Sue McDonald can also be said to have mastered the conditions by coming 3rd overall in the women’s category.

EAMA INTER AREA TRACK & FIELD CHALLENGE 20 July 2014

Inter-area match, Solihull, 20 July 2014

VAC Team Managers’ Report by Mike May and Nick Lauder

On a hot, humid day, our team was a little depleted after unavailability of athletes in several of the track and field disciplines due to illness and holidays, so coming 6th in men’s , women’s and combined matches was fairly inevitable. However those members in attendance gave a good account of themselves in the events they did do. Our ladies averaged 5.0 points per event (out of 8) compared to 6.4 for ladies winners SCVAC, and 5.4 per event for 5th placed Eastern Vets. On the men’s side our men managed to average 5.5 points per event compared to 6.5 per event by men’s winners Midland Masters, and 5.8 per event by 5th placed Eastern Vets.

Taking the ladies first, our most successful athlete was Helen Channon who won the w35 100m and Long Jump and came 2nd in the 200m, but unfortunately aggravated an Achilles injury, so couldn’t stay for the 4 x 100 relay. In the event, a scratch team of Rachel Waters (w45), Lisa Webb (w45- also did 800m), Ann Bath (w65, making her 4 x 100 debut!-also did w60 800m an 3000m), and Andrea Sanders-Reece (w55-also did w50 800m and 1500m) got our w35-49 baton round.

We also had second places from Jo Locker (w35 1500m) and Teresa Eades (w50 Pole Vault, who also did the High Jump), while we got 3rd places from Joan Trimble (w55) (a double in the w50 100m and 200m) and Lucy Bartlett (w35) in the 400m. Debbie Singleton (w55) stepped down to do four events in the w35-49 field events (Pole Vault, Hammer, Shot and Discus), while Fiona Argent did a w60 100m and 200m double on the track, before joining with Joan, Lesley Parsons (who also did the w50 400m) and Teresa in the w50 4 x 100 team. Best wishes to Sandra Campbell for a speedy recovery from her illness.

On the men’s side, we were partially compensated for our late withdrawals by the unexpected late availability of Shaun Lightman, who rang the night before to say he could do the m60 2000m walk (and came 2nd), and Pat Logan (m50), who became available because Northern Ireland didn’t send a team this year, and stepped in to lead off the m35-49 4 x 100 relay after Stuart Channon had to leave early because of Helen’s injury referred to above.

Our only individual event win came from Alwyn Lombaard, who won the m35-49 High Jump (also getting 3rd in the Triple Jump, and 3rd in the 110m hurdles, and ran in the relay with Pat, Brian Lewis (m50) and Mark White (m45- also did the m35-39 400m) with the team coming in second). We had a plethora of other 2nd places: Stuart Channon (m35) in 100m and 200m (in a PB) (also 3rd in the Long Jump), Cliff Taylor (m80) 2nd in the m70 shot, Brian Lewis 2nd in the m50 100m, Chuck Isetts in the m70 100m (and 3rd in both the 200m and Long Jump) and Jon Hamblen in the m35 800m. Other notable performances were 3rds for Peter Kennedy in the m60 400m (in a tough age group for sprints and just after coming 5th in the 1500m), Andy Gannaway (returning from long distance cycling) in the m50 800m, Ed Connolly in m60 800m and m80 Richard Pitcairn-Knowles, who finished 4th (of 5) in the m70 800m. Our m50 relay team of Mike May (also did Long Jump and 400m), Steve Allen (also did m50 200m and Hammer), Phil Bell (borrowed from the M60s – did the 200m as well) and Chuck Isetts (borrowed from the m70s) also managed a good 3rd place . Carey Gray and Mike Mann also contributed to our result, and a good time was had by all.
