News

Thirteen Stevenage and North Herts athletes were in action at Westminster Lodge, St Albans on Saturday. Returning to competition for the first time since 2016, thrower George Marvel picked up the 7.26k hammer and threw a Senior Club record in the sixth round. The record by Luigi Bellu of 50m56 had stood since 1999. George plans further competitions this year and his throw of 51m44 is unlikely to be the record for very long. Vet athlete Steve Feely won the B string Hammer. Other notable performances saw Libby Taylor win the women’s hammer with 44m15 and Ed Laws the 400H. Returning from university to pick up a pole competitively for the first time since 2019 Michael Stocker cleared 3m50 for second place. Nile Odejimi-Riley and Alex Pickard ran the 100m in 11.7 and 12.4 respectively. Alex was joined by Ed, Michael and Dylan Baines n the 4x100m Relay finishing third in 46.4. Adam Searle ran the 5000m and U17 Amelie Hobbs the 3000m in 15.59.9 and 12.39.6. U17 Sara Mavromoustakis 100m, Delia Previtali high jump and U20 Clare Hudson 400H were also in action
