August 26/27: A full set of medals for MMK at the England Athletics U17/U15 Championships

Marshall Milton Keynes was very well represented at the England Athletics U17/U15 Championships held in Birmingham, with 14 MMK athletes taking part.

D’mitri Varlack (pictured above, centre) put the disappointment of the Commonwealth Youth Games behind him with an awesome new club record in winning the M17 Long Jump. His windy 7.40m was 36cms better than Greg Rutherford achieved at the same age and 4cms better than his previous club record.

Ayesha Jones, on the other hand, seemed tired after her outstanding winning 52.49m throw in the Javelin at the Commonwealth Youth Games and could only manage 46.37m for second place in the F17 Javelin.

Tito Odunaike (pictured above) was just shy of his windy 13.47m club record in the M15 Triple Jump but achieved 13.26m into a headwind for the Bronze medal.

Orla Enright set a new lifetime best in qualifying for the F15 1500m final and Sophia Chapman PBd in the F15 3000m.
