Excellent performances were produced at the John Newsome Memorial Open Meeting, hosted by Wakefield Harriers, including a club record.

In her last competition in the U11 age group Lily Keeler jumped a new U11 girls club high jump record of 1.23m, beating her previous record from earlier in the season. She also won the long jump with 3.76m.

Thomas Hastings was also impressive when winning the U11B high jump with 1.27m, not far off the club record.

Harriers had a good turnout of Junior Jets, with some of them enjoying their first proper competition.

Wakefield Harriers have, meanwhile, produced some fine road running performances.

At the BMW Berlin Marathon in Germany, Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge made all the headlines by breaking his own world record with the sensational time of 2 hrs 01:09.

But behind him excellent times were also recorded by M40 Ben Butler with 2:37:08 and M45 Chris Hunter with 2:40:19.

Any sub three-hour marathon performance is commendable, so although a bit disappointed with his time, Chris Ward also did well to record 2:59:53.

At the Great Bristol Run 10K Nicky Steel was competing for an England Masters team against Wales Masters and she recorded a new PB for the distance of 38:38, excellent running for an F45.

The club had a couple of teams competing at the Northern Athletics Road Relay Championships at Sport City, Manchester.

The senior men's team of Mark Bostock, Matthew Hill, Simon Midwood, Ashley Crow, Elliot Prentice and Steve Lowe did well to finish 34th out of the large field over 130 teams.

They were the seventh Yorkshire club to finish and Mark Bostock was 34th fastest overall, out of over 700 runners.

The U15 Girl's 'A' team of Rosie Thistlewood, Jessica Watson and Libby Cree were an excellent seventh place, and were the second Yorkshire club to finish in their event.

Harriers also had a 'B' team of Evielynne Tunney, Ava Walsh and Amelia Thorpe who also did well to finish 33rd.

Rosie Thistlewood was fifth fastest overall, out of 130 runners, which was a good performance as she is at the bottom end of the age group.
