European Clubs Cup bronze for Sophie Dowson



Sophie Dowson, 18, overcame more favoured competitors and atrocious weather conditions to take bronze in the European U20 Champion Clubs Cup in Brno, Czech Republic. Her performance contributed to Blackheath & Bromley's third-place finish in the competition. Dowson reported, "The conditions were the worst I have ever competed in. It wouldn’t stop raining and the ground was so wet that we couldn't fix markings to guide our run-ups. The poles were too slippery to grip without our hands sliding down. In the circumstances I was happy with my clearance of 3.40m."
Gabriel Nicholls, 14, entered the national U15 lists in three events at the Trafford AC Open Meeting. He recorded shot, discus and javelin marks of 11.17m, 23.77m and 30.73m respectively.
Rosalind Zeffertt gained V55 national discus ranking with a personal best throw of 14.37m at the Highgate & City of London Open Meeting at Parliament Hill.
