In the Cambridgeshire County Championships at Peterborough, Huntingdonshire AC came away with a very respectable five gold, five silver and three bronze medals. Leading the way were brother and sister Jonathan and Chloe Edwards who are both coached by their father John. In the Senior Men's hammer final, Jonathan not only won by over twenty metres, but he also broke his own club record by close to half a metre. His 57.46m distance currently ranks him 22nd in the country. In the discus, Jonathan added a couple of metres to his personal best to beat local Nene Valley Harrier rival Martin Tinkler by over four metres. Jonathan's distance of 45.90m puts just 60 cms off Hunts AC's 27-year-old club record and ranks him 20th best in the United Kingdom. Although hampered by a long-term shoulder injury, Jonathan finished off with a bronze medal in the shot putt. Meanwhile, sister Chloe celebrated her 25th birthday by picking up the gold medal in the Senior Women's shot putt as well as a silver in the discus. Five medals for Team Edwards! Another throwing gold medal came from newcomer, 13-year-old Diana Pereira. Having just joined the club a couple of months ago, and never having thrown the hammer previously, Diana now finds herself as the Under 15 Girls County champion, winning by some two metres, as well as the new club record holder, adding four metres to the previous best. Diana topped up her medal tally with a silver in the discus. The fifth and sixth gold medals came from one-lap racers Christian Roberts who won the Senior Men?s 400m hurdles and Tom Johnson who, despite recently missing many weeks of training due to injury, stormed to a comfortable two-second victory in the Under 20 Men's 400m final. Also in the U20M age group, Ryan Palmer got off to an excellent season's start with a silver medal in the 100m. His 11.07-sec clocking was his fastest legal start to a season which he didn't surpass last year until July. Ryan also ran a wind-assisted 10.90 to win his qualifying heat. In the Under 20 Women's 1500m final, 17-year-old Eleanor Smith took a significant step forward by reducing her month-old personal best by a huge 16 seconds to claim a very satisfying silver medal. Eleanor's time of 4:59.88 was the fastest by a club member in six years. Another female middle-distance runner to rise to the occasion was 15-year-old Rebecca Pedley who reduced her month-old 800m best by over three seconds to claim the bronze medal in the Under 17 Women's 800m. Rounding out the medal haul, Molly Gregorious won silver in the Under 15 Girls pole vault while Dani Hazelden made a big breakthrough winning the bronze medal in the Under 15 Girls 100m final.

Another cold and rainy night greeted the Huntingdonshire AC veterans team at Peterborough track. However, the damp conditions did nothing to hamper the outstanding Hunts AC performances. Athlete of the meet was Sharron Kenyon who took part in four events and won all of them. Sharron topped off her evening when she teamed up with Hannah Stirley, Sarah Peatman and Sandra Pedley to establish a new veteran women?s 4x400m relay club record. Kudos to Sarah who dashed from work, arriving for the relay with minutes to spare. Team honours went to the veteran men?s team who won its second consecutive league meet, picking up six first places along the way. On the track, M40 Peter Downhill was in total control of the 400m hurdles, conserving his energy for the imminent 800m but still winning by three seconds. In the M50 section, Geoff Brewster strode to an easy seven-second win, while Richard Holland won the 3000m by over 20 seconds. Geoff ran a leg in the 4x400m relay, along with Pavlo Duma, Derek Darnell, and Richard Phelan as they crushed the opposition by over 45 seconds. In the field, M50 Richard Phelan and M60 William Bradley gained a pair of victories in their respective triple jump competitions.
