EBBISHAM LEAGUE - A DAY OF REAL "ATHLETICS DESIRE" AND "PERSONAL BESTS"!
Match 1, 8 May 2016
U13s - Highest point scorers: CONNOR GREER (11pts), LIAM COBLEY (10 pts) and DILLON QUIRICI (9pts). Event Winners (6 pointers) - MAX FACKRELL-SPINKS (800m B), CONOR GREER (shot A), BEAU FACKRELL-SPINKS (SHOT B), MILES BROWN (1500m A). U15s - Highest point scorers: HARRY FISHER (14pts) and LUCA FAIRCHILD (11pts). Event Winners (6 Pointers) - HARRY FISHER (80m H), LUCA FASSIO (300m B)
Our U13s, U15s and U17s featured strongly in the weekend's Ebbisham athletics League at Walton on Thames in a day of high "desire" and "commitment" (especially in the U13s) resulting in many much sought after personal bests and Holland Sports AC to 2nd U13 and 4th U15 Team placing and just 10 pts from the powerful Croydon, Epsom & Ewell and Sutton athletics clubs.
The hot conditions resulted in sizzling performances from many athletes including U13s Liam Cobley (100m, 200m), Max and Beau Fackrell-Spinks and a big first Track win from Miles Brown (1500m) and points success from Connor Greer (Hurdles and Shot) and Dillon Quirici (800m and Long Jump). U15s success came from Harry Fisher (80m Hurdles, Triple Jump and 300m), Luca Fassio (300m) and a strong looking Oscar Voller (1500m). Holland also finished as a major Relay force - suggesting a 3rd Overall Team placing is possible with full teams. The U17s saw James Staton competing in HJ, LJ and 400m. On a day when each of our athletes made progress perhaps few showed more desire than Luke Lawrence improving his 800m time from 2.23.9 to 2.18.1.
In the sprints, U13 Liam Cobley set the standard closing in on National Grade 1 for 100m (13.00 a new PB and National grade 2) and looked equally pacey in 200m (27.9 new PB National Grade3). U15 Harry Fisher won the Hurdes (new PB in 13.01 National Grade 4) and in 300m achieved a Massive PB moving from 43.2 to 41.5 (National grade 4). Making his return to high quality athletics, U15 Luca Fassio also stood out in his 300m (his 42.2 win was just 0.1 from National Grade 4).
Competing against older athletes is possible as was shown by Oscar Voller to achieve his new PB of 5.00.8. In terms of "commitment" James Staton gave 100% in his Long Jump, High Jump and 400m. On a day proving the importance of "sporting desire", U13 Beau Fackrell-Spinks showed his spirit to win his Shot event (4.66). We would like to thank all parents and athletes for their support and efforts. Come on Holland!

MAGGIE PLACED SECOND IN UK CROSS-COUNTRY RANKING
Athletics Weekly's ranking of UK cross-country runners published in April 2016 placed HSAC masters runner Maggie Berry (Statham) second in the W60 category. In first position in the rankings was Gail Duckworth, of Milton Keynes, who had only beaten Maggie, narrowly, on a single occasion in the 12 month period concerned.
WORLD INDOOR ULTRA-MULTI EVENTS CHAMPIONSHIPS
9th/10th April
Mark Andrews came a fantastic 5th in the World Indoor Ultra-multi events Championships in Helsinki, Finland on 9th/10th April.
Mark broke the British Triple Record within the event with the further recorded mark of 12.37m, although his last round effort was much further and would have put him within a few centimetres of the world record but was a foul by the smallest of margins!
Mark was in 4th place at the end of day 1 (after 7 events), but knew that the second day wasn't as strong overall for him. Going into the last event Mark was in 4th place just a couple of points ahead of 5th place, with an outside chance of getting on the podium. The last event, the 5000m, is not one of Mark's strongest at the moment so he tried to keep up the athlete he needed to beat but soon started to fall off the pace and then started to drop back knowing that the podium finish was then out of reach.
Mark broke 7 indoor club records (400m, 800m, 1500m, 3000m, 5000m, Weight Throw and Tetradecathlon) over the weekend with some decent performances, getting more than 500 points in 9 of the 14 events. His full results were:
60m - 7.97s (568pts) LJ - 5.73m (529) 800m - 2:15.48 (659 - CR) SP - 8.12m (373) 400m - 56.01s (559 - CR) HJ - 1.71m (552) 3000m - 11:58.33 (369 - CR) 60mH - 10.09 (524) PV - 2.20m (179) 1500m - 5:10.70 (500 - CR) WT - 7.42m (309 - CR) 200m - 25.48s (566) TJ - 12.37m (502) 5000m - 22:27.13 (194 - CR) Tetradecathlon - 6,383pts (CR)
This is a promising start to the season and Mark will be working hard, especially at some of his weaker events, to try and get a strong performance at the European Outdoor Ultra-Multi Event Championships in Cambridge at the end of August.

SURREY LEAGUE CROSS-COUNTRY
Lloyd Park, Saturday, 13 February 2016
We had another very good turnout of 15 runners for the final men's cross-country of the season at a muddy Lloyd Park. U20 Josh Knight once again starred for the team, finishing in 4th position. Josh ended the season as the top runner in Division Three having finished the preceding races in 7th, 6th and 1st position - well done Josh. Next, in 17th position, was another U20, James Rady. The Holland team finished Match 4 in 5th place out of 9 teams in Division 3 - a very creditable result, and ahead of Sutton Runners, who we were fighting against to avoid relegation. Unfortunately, despite finishing ahead of Sutton in 3 out of 4 races, they stayed up by virtue of an exceptional result in Match 3 (Oxshott), and we were relegated - once again! - to Division Four. All the individual and team results for the entire season are available on the Surrey league website.

In the U17's Holland won the team silver medal. Led home by Tom Knight in 22nd in 25m 26 despite losing a shoe in the last kilometre which hampered him because of the wet muddy condions. Followed by Keir McDonald who had a strong run in 25th in 25m 52, followed by a fine run by Louis Keynon 29th in 27m 43. Will McGinniss's effort in 36th in 38m 47 sealed the silver medal.
The U20's won the team bronze medal with Josh Knight leading the team home with a powerful run in 7th in 22m 45, followed by a below-par unfit James Rady in 17th in 28m 06, with Joe Domingues running very capably over distance in 18th in 28m 46.
In the U13's Holland fielded a very young team with 3 runners who had only recently turned 11. Holland packed well with Oscar Voller 37th in 12m 10, Dino Quirichi 39th in 12m 13, Miles Brown 42nd in 12m 22 and Alex Tagg 44th in 12m 25 and Dominic Bell 54th in 12m 52.

SEAA Combined Events Championships
19-20 December 2015
Results from the SEAA Combined Events Championships where Steph and Harry Fisher competed in the Pentathlon and Mark Andrews competed in the heptathlon.
Both Steph and Harry did very well overall considering that we haven't been able to do technical/speed training recently. Steph's 60mH and 800m were particularly impressive with a new club record and National Grade 4 in the 60mH despite hitting her knee on the first hurdle, she was also the fastest U17W 800m runner setting an indoor club record. She came 9th in the SEAA pentathlon with a new club record.
Harry got a PB in the high jump and comfortably won his heat of the 800m, he also ran a good PB in the 60mH running exactly the same time as Mark did! Harry finished in 7th position overall.
Mark did as well as can be expected with the lack of speed/technical training - rather incredibly he got exactly the same for 60m and 60mH as he did 2 weeks ago in Eton! He also managed to equal the indoor club record in the high jump despite scissoring for the majority of the clearances and set new club records in the 1000m and Heptathlon which he finished 11th in overall, scoring over 500pts in 5 of the events.
The detailed results were:
Steph Fisher(U17W): 60mH - 9.65s (779pts) - PB and Club Record HJ - 1.42m (534) SP - 6.44m (299) LJ - 4.36m (393) 800m - 2:29.62 (698) - PB and Club Record Pentathlon - 2,703 pts (9th) - PB & Club Record
Harry Fisher (U15B): 60mH - 10.02 (537) - PB LJ - 4.39m (271) SP - 5.62m (227) HJ - 1.47m (367) - PB 800m - 2:22.80 (413) Pentathlon - 1,815 pts (7th) - PB
Mark Andrews (SM): 60m - 7.98s (565) LJ - 5.73m (529) SP - 8.16m (376) HJ - 1.80m (623) =SB 60mH - 10.02 (537) PV - 2.00m (140) 1000m - 3:02.02 (645) - PB Heptathlon - 3,419 pts (11th) - PB

Her winning streak continued into the following year, when she also set her 10K PB of 35:20. Click photo to enlarge. (Photo courtesy of Jeremy Hemming)
Congratulations to Maggie Berry on being selected to run for England in the British & Irish Masters Cross-Country International at Santry Park, Dublin on Saturday, 14 November. She will be running in the W60 category. It seems the selectors have taken into account her summer track and field performances, which saw her once again at or near the top of the 5000m and 10000m rankings; her road performances including a fast Paddock Wood Half Marathon; and of course her W60 national championship winning run in the British Masters Cross-Country championships at Ruthin, Clwyd, last March.

HELSINKI INTERNATIONAL TETRADECATHLON
12 April 2015
A couple of weeks ago Mark Andrews competed in an indoor international ultra-multi event competition in Helsinki (Finland). The event was a one-day Tetradecathlon (14 events) in which he came third overall. He got the British High Jump record but was not able to compete as well as he'd have liked as my current injuries caused him to get cramp quite badly early on in the 800m (4th event) and then he was not able to run the 1500m or 5000m and lost a lot of points early on in the first event (Weight Throw) where he had a good throw in practice and then two fouls and a poor throw in the competition. This meant that he lost out on 2nd place that he would have probably got if he was able to run the 1500m. Mark's overall score was 5016 points and the individual results were:
Weight Throw - 3.93m 60m - 7.81s Long Jump - 5.79m 800m - 2:25.97 Shot - 8.18m 400m - 58.14s High Jump - 1.75m 3000m - 13:27.24 60mH - 9.94s Pole Vault - 1.70m 1500m - 7:45.70 200m - 26.15s Triple Jump - 11.65m 5000m - 29:21.85
