UK Sports Hall & London Marathon

Posted on Monday, 14 April 2008 10:15PM by JH

Emily Appleby & Jodie Solaiman represented Nottinghamshire in the UK Sports Hall final at the NEC, Birmingham last weekend. An excellent performance saw Emily collect a silver medal in the speed bounce. The two Worksop Harriers, along with former teammate Codie Marsh, helped the Notts team to an encouraging 5^th place against the best teams in Britain.Juniors Coach, Michele Harrop said:

“The girls gained selection for the County Team after their excellent performances for the Harriers. It’s a great reward for all their effort & commitment & gives all our younger athletes something to aspire to”

Meanwhile senior members of the Harriers were among the 34,000 runners in the Flora London Marathon. While the heavy rain was less than ideal, it was an improvement on last year’s hot & sunny weather. Gavin Welsh excelled to finish 169^th in 2:39:22 to lead the Harriers home. While Danny Scott (1078^th, 2:59:44), Craig Argyle (1591^st, 3:07:21) & Mike New (1827^th, 3:09:58) all put in very good performances to finish towards the front of field. Sharon Farrow (4399^th, 4:32:30) & Dino Amendola (20,765^th, 5:15:18) also took part.

Closer to home & over a somewhat shorter distance the Harriers were also represented in the Mansfield 5km, where Steve Battle (17^th, 18:10) led them home. He was followed by John Hewitt (28^th, 18:55) & John Harrison (63^rd, 20:45). While Charlotte Hewitt (101^st, 23:24) aged 16, showed continued improvement & now looks forward to joining the Harriers senior ranks in the Notts Summer League, which commences next Wednesday (23^rd) at Epperstone. Michele Harrop (113^th, 25:00) also ran.
