The start of the athletics season could not have had more perfect weather conditions at Kingsmeadow last weekend, where the traditional Kinnaird & Sward match was held in gloriously warm sunshine and very little wind. Eight athletes from Epsom & Ewell sallied forth to put down an early season marker and set some very promising indicators:
Stefan Richards (U20) - 400m : 49.77 secs (0.01 sec outside his PB)
Mark Butler (V40) - 400m : 57.75 secs (better than 2009 best)
Lee Pollock (V40) - 2000m S/C : 7:51.2
Bill Arbury (V40) - 3000m : 10:49.12
Martin Lay (U20) - 400mH : 68.1 secs
- Javelin : 32.13 m
Ian Frankish - Discus : 27.69 m
- Shot : 12.06 m
Brian Harlick (V60) - Pole Vault : 2.50 m
David Whittaker (V65) - 100m : 15.33 secs
- 200m : 31.05 secs
Many more athletes will be required on 1st May when the serious competion begins with the Southern Mens League, again at Kingsmeadow. After gaining promotion last season, the Harriers will be looking to consolidate in Div 3 or even go up again if they can field athletes in all 36 events. Anyone wishing to take part can contact the Harriers at their Ewell Court headquarters on Tuesday or Thursday evenings
