Our junior athletes along with supporters, volunteers and officials headed to Shildon on Sunday 25th June for the third fixture of the NEYDL Division One season alongside teammates from Allerton Juniors Athletics Club.
Massive well done and thanks to our officials on the day, Sarah Johnson, Brian Burdon, Brian Thompson, Lily Thompson, Mia Wetherill, Lucia Florian-Tallon, Trevor McDermot, Mark Tallon and Amy Pickworth – without the team of volunteer officials, these fixtures would not be able to go ahead.
Provisional results (they will be updated during the course of the week) have the DHAC/AJAC team finishing second with 668.5 points, behind Harrogate who scored 830 points.
In total DHAC had 42 athletes competing in 92 events across the day. Between them they set or broke 37 personal bests with one club record being broken on the day:
U17M Hammer – Ashton Harrison – 22.34m (breaking the record from 2016)
In addition to equalling his own Club Record set earlier this season Thomas Hill broke the NEYDL League Record in the U17M Pole Vault with a clearance of 3.70m – this added 30cm to the previous record which was set in 2017.
