Match Report by Des Webb
Team Southampton young athletes kicked off their new track season this weekend with their first match in the Wessex young athletes League. The club fielded a strong team right across the age groups and as a result took a commanding lead in the match early on which they never relinquished. The match was held at the Thames Valley track at Eton and hosted by local team Slough. Also competing were teams from Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Woking and Goring, but it was Team Southampton who came away with local bragging rights on the day with a clear win to strat the season off well.

Individually there were some very strong performances as well both from established athletes and some newcomers.

Top performers included U15 girl, Freya Jones, who's performances in the Javelin and Shot earned her the female field athlete of the match award and Fred Young who threw two Personal bests (PB's) & in doing so recorded a best ever league record in the U17 mens discus with a huge throw of 43.96m. Not surprisingly he also earned an athlete of the match award this time for the men's field events. Tom Gowans also won the male track athlete of the meeting award with a personal best of 13.00 sec for the 100metres in the U13 boys age group to mean the club took three out of the four athlete of the match awards on offer on the day.

In the U13 girls Caitlin Stewart ran a solid 1200m to win by some distance despite struggling with back pain. Zoe Carter improved on her PB for the 200m, shaving .6s off her time earning a Grade 3 performance. Sophie Kalik ran very well for her first competitive race for the club with a good 2mins 42.9secs time for the 800m & a 9.04m throw in the discus and Emma Cowell achieved a PB in the High Jump of 1.34 entertaining the watching crowd.

In the U15 girls as well as Freya's fine performances, Hannah Musker reduced her 800m time by 3sec in an exciting race to win the A string with Nicky Humphrey completing a double with a win in the B string.

In the U15 boys there were wins for Martin Campbell 1500m(pb 4.44), Simon Campbell 800m (pb 2.22) as well as a 400m B string win for Simon. There was a win for Ben Lewis in the shot and fine contributions from other athletes including Max Costley, Calum Rowe, Amarpal Gil, Jay Buckingham and Brad Fletcher in their events.

In the U13 boys there was also wins for Alex Ruggles and Alexander Allen in the A and B string of the 800ms with both recording a time of 2min 33sec and there was a fine win for David Fisher in the 1500 metres in a time of 5min 08sec. Alexander Allen completed an excellent overall performance with an A string 200m win and a first place in the B string 100 metres.

In the U17 womens age group there were a host of double winners in the A and B strings including Tazmin Street and Kathryn Webb in the 100m hurdles, Jenny Beckingham and Zoe Gittens in the 1500m, Sophie Jones and Melody Young in the 300m, Rachel Weager and Alisha Parnell in the 800m and Emily Varcoe and Anna Stevens in both the shot put and discus

This result promises well for the remainder of the season where the club hopes to do well on their debut season in the top division in the National Young Athletes League.
