Consistency was the name of the game for Nene Valley Harriers as they notched up a convincing East Anglian League victory at Bury St Edmunds.
Despite their only age category wins coming in the girls and boys under-15 competitions, the Harriers didn’t finish lower than third out of the seven competing clubs in any of the age groups, and the accumulated points left them well clear of the field.
The Nene Valley production line of talented athletes shows no sign of slowing down as Fran Fenwick claimed three under-15 wins on her club debut.
The sprinter won the 100m in 13.00secs and the 200m in a time of 27.5secs. Fenwick then proceeded to win the high jump.
Every single under-15 girls’ throw was won by a Nene Valley athlete with Elizabeth Moorhouse, Roseanna Clarke, Eleanor Smith and Danielle Pusey sharing the honours.
Back on the track there were firsts for middle distance runners Flo Brill, Ella Robinson and Olivia Mead, along with sprint hurdler Dior Harrison.
The under-15 boys also produced some useful performances and George Harrison was a three times winner in the throws.
Astonishingly, his elder brother Kai also pulled off a hat-trick of throwing firsts for the under 17’s.
Hugo Brill had a fine run, winning the under-13 800m in 2.25.5mins, and Donovan Capes secured a maximum points triple in the shot, discus and long jump.
Lottie Hemmings won the girls’ under-13 1,500m with a 5.19.7mins clocking, while Chloe Pavey won the senior ladies’ 800m and 1,500m B races on her return from injury.
Other winners for Nene Valley on the day included Amber Park whose time of 5.08.3mins saw her cross the line first in the senior 1,500m and Rosie Jacobs, who finished first in the senior 100m hurdles and B 400m race.
Evie Blow ran well winning the under-13 girls’ B 100m and there were also firsts for under-15 sprinters William Kong, Luke Harrison and Tim Flood. Matthew Church eased his way to victory in the 1,500m and Ollie Rushton took the honours in the B high jump, as did Charlie Brook in the discus.
Under-17 Ronan Rawlings was first over the line in the 100m and 200m posting times of 11.20secs and 23.00secs. Rawlings also added the long jump to his roll of honour.
Tomi Foginyoye in the high jump and B 200m, along with B shot putter Callum Robertson, also won.
The Nene Valley senior men were strong on the track with two wins apiece for Sam Hunt, Gideon Okoh and Callum Crosby, while Adam Fidgett scored a maximum in the B discus competition.
