Blake Gates leads club success in YDL
Swale Combined AC teamed up with other Kent clubs to form a super club and join the Youth Development League for the first time this season, a league for under 17 and under 20s athletes.
Blake Gates, pictured, led the Swale efforts this year, going undefeated in both the Hammer and Discus throws, improving to new bests of 44.77m in the hammer and 39.55m in the Discus.
Morgan Argivier enjoyed her YDL season improving her bests throughout; 29.71m in the U17 women's Hammer for 2nd place at match 3 the highlight of her season.
Skye Watts took her bests down in both 100m and 200m sprints, a big improvement over 200m to 29.07sec at match 3.
Top Level Under 15s Enjoy National Championships
Three Swale athletes qualified for the England Athletics National Championships in Birmingham this summer. The most the club has ever sent to the National in the same season.
Harriet Smith threw in the U15 Discus throw where she battled for a bronze medal for much of the event; finishing with a new PB of 28.87m in a very close 5th place.
Alfie Walach marked a return from injury to take on his third national championships this season (also in the indoor national and indoor combined events champs). He finished 5th in his heat of the 80m Hurdles in 12.65sec.
Millie Rumley qualified for the championships in her first year as an under 15, racing well in the girls 75m Hurdles, just shy of her best in 12.63sec for 7th in her heat.
