The pre-season open meetings continued at Stretford and a clutch of Liverpool Pembroke Sefton`s Under 15s attended. Star performer for LPS was Lauren Lewis who came away with three gold medals. She took the 100m in 12.9 and long jumped well clear of anybody else with 5.04m. She also won the 200m comfortably with 27.3. All three performances lifted her high in the national rankings. An exciting summer awaits
this talented young lady.
Another member who collected gold was rising starlet Alice Prescott with a 300m victory in 43.8 and who additionally took a silver behind Lauren in the Long Jump with 4.81m. A delighted Joe Houghton ran a splendid 800m for third spot in 2.12.5 and he too will be eagerly looking forward to the forthcoming season. The club’s high jumpers always deliver and Sadie McNulty was third on 1.45m as attention shifted to another in the coach Dave McComb squad, 13-year old Imogen Ayres who went over 1.40m for fifth.
Also at Stretford Lucy Le Marinel was 4th in her 100m with 14.1 and fifth in the 200m with 29.9 and Sadie McNulty long jumped 4.24m. There are not many clubs that will have such a range of promising Under 15s.
