As the season draws to a close, theres no let up by 17-year-old Jonathan Edwards in his pursuit of club records and athletics excellence.

Out on the track, and after running in a 3000m race the day before, 14-year-old James Downing held on for the win in the Under 15 Boys 1500m.

At the fourth and final Huntingdonshire Athletics Clubs track & field championships, the Under 11 competitors grabbed the spotlight with three young athletes setting four club records. In the Under 11 Boys section, George Youngs came away with records in the 200m and high jump. George reduced the 200m club best by a hefty five seconds, while adding 10 cms to the previous high jump best. George momentarily held the shot putt record in the first round before William Alden broke the record in the second round, improving still further in the third and final round. In the Under 11 Girls high jump, newcomer Harriet Bruce added a whopping 20 cms to the previous record. The class performance of the meet came from Jonathan Edwards who hurled the Under 20 Mens shot putt out past the 14-metre barrier. Jonathan, who ranks in the top 20 in the country, was a mere 10 cms down on his best.

Huntingdonshire AC sprinters sparkled in the final Eastern Young Athletes League meet of the season at Peterborough. Fifteen-year-old Meredith Ash stormed to easy victories in the Under 17 Womens 100m and 200m, winning each race by half a second or more. Meredith still has one more year to go in this age category. Her Under 17 Mens counterpart, Ryan Palmer, similarly picked up wins in his two sprint races. His Peterborough AC opponent, who shares a similar personal best in the 200m, lost out to Ryan by 0.5 secs which suggests theres still more to come from the young Hunts AC sprinter. In the U17M 800m A race, George Allen ran away from the field to win by almost five seconds.
