MASSIVE Personal Best

Of all the club performances at the weekend, many very good, the best had to be Peter Bowman's 800 metres in 1:57.93 which took two seconds from his best - and he was onlu inside two minutes for the first time two weeks ago, then there was a pb pver 1500 at Stretford, Manchester, and now another pb! Well done Peter. Ryan nelson was second in the B 800 in 2:16. Peter had already run the B 200 metres where he was fourth in 24.85 seconds. Travelling companion to Stretford, Johnathan Farrell had been the A string here and was second in 23.11 seconds.
Johnathan had already been third in the 100 metres in 11.51. Peter Bowman also ran in the 400 metres where he was sixth in 54.9 seconds. All three are Under 20 and were racing against Senior Men. It gets better - B string in the 1500 was Under 17 Man Tony Dolan in third place in 5:02.4 while Ryan was seventh in the A string in 4:59.5. Unfortunately no seniors were available for the 5000 metres race but in the steeplechase David Brown (another Under 20) was fifth in 11:34.43. Sixth in the 4 x 100 metres, the team was disqualified in the 4 x 400 on a technicality. Best of the field eventers were David Brown who was eighth A String in the Long Jump and sixth A String in the Triple Jump and Johnathan Farrell in the Shot Putt where he was seventh A String.
In the points contest the club is now sixth in the nine team league ahead of Kilbarchan, Falkirk Victoria and Dunfermline and West Fife. The team was made up entirely of Under 20 athletes with one Under 17 runner. Very well done, lads, the club can be proud of your efforts.
