 8-Counties Under 17 Men and Women (Basildon, 3 August)

The weather conspired to make life difficult for all the athletes with squally showers and high winds. There were a considerable number of first time Hampshire athletes together with seasoned performers, who on the day produced some fine performances. Hampshire winners were Kieran Showler-Davis who ran 10.88 into a strong headwind to take the 100m, Jack Graham won the 'B' 800m, Fred Young the 'B' Discus, whilst first year Richard Humby produced some excellent vaulting to win with 4.00m equalling his personal best despite an horrendous cross wind and the rain.

There were only two 'B' string events that could not be covered and due to injury the 4x400m relay had to be scratched. A number of first choice athletes were on holiday or injured but those who stepped into the breach gave 100% and justified their selection.

This was a much improved result from past years and the athletes are to be congratulated on their performances.

 South of England Under 15 Boys and Girls (Barnet Copthall, 24 August)

In spite of absenteeism due to holidays, injuries and call-ups to Olympic Torch Ceremonies an almost full team was fielded. Athletes from all quarters were in attendance - Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Wight and Hampshire mainland, illustrating the commitment we got from the boys and their parents/guardians to this competition. The standard of competition was high and the determination of the team saw them placed 6th overall out of 17 teams.

The point scorers were Harvey Dixon (1500m) who timed his race perfectly to out-pace all the opposition with ease on the final lap. Second places were earnt by Gary Jones in the Hammer, Dan Grinham (800m) and Perry Patterson (Javelin), both Gary and Dan gaining personal bests. Nick Percy (Discus) and Ross Hanley (Triple Jump) performed well for 4th placings and Will Yates (80m Hurdles) after picking himself off the floor in his heat to qualify for the the final was pleased to finish the final safely and in one piece for 7th.

 South of England Under 13 Boys and Girls (Kingsmeadow, 27 July)

On one of the hottest days of the year, the girls competed very well in extremely airless conditions which bodes well for the future. We managed to finish in 8th place overall.
