HAC hosted the 2nd round of the SCVAC league at Uxbridge on the 10th June.

With the mens team having won the fixture at Battersea, probably to the surprise of everyone, Herne Hill Harriers who are the dominant force in mens veteran athletics, fielded a very strong team to beat us into second place at home despite the valiant efforts of the team.

In the womens league the status quo continued with the Serpentine goliath taking another fixture victory from a battling HAC womens team.

Results are here. Fixture details are here.

The Hillingdon Race for Life is on Sunday 16^th June at Hillingdon sports and leisure complex. Last year some of our club members went along and set up a stall to promote the club and also marshalled some of the course. I have been contacted by this year’s organiser to find out if this is something we would be interested in doing again this year. Are there any willing volunteers, as they would love to have us there and it would be a good opportunity to increase the number of women running for the club. If you are interested I will co-ordinate and put you in touch with each other and the organiser. Contact me on davidalan.smith2@gmail.com

Round 2 of the Youth Development League U13/15 at Uxbridge on Saturday 1st June brought six changes to our club records – one going back to 1974 reports Diane Gibbons. It was a superb team effort resulting with us being 2nd with 494 points just 11 points behind TVH. We had many great performances but the following deserve special recognition; Celine Clarke u13 broke the 150m record in 19.9 also she jumped 4m57in the long jump breaking that record as well. Niamh McGuigan u15 ran the 75mh in 11.1 breaking a record that has stood since 1974. Emily Wilcock u13 threw the javelin 19m35 breaking the previous record of 17m38. Ambra Beason also U13 jumped 1m50 breaking the club record of 1m43. Not wanting to be left out the the u15 boys relay team of Louis Southwell, Aidan Bradshaw,D’Shaune McWayne and Sam Fraser won their 4×100 relay in 48.1 breaking a record which has stood since 1978.
