Harriers have representatives across all three age groups and across a wide range of disciplines.

Sam Cordin is named in the Senior Boys events and, along with Junior Boy Ben Levers-Riley, represents the club’s sprint contingent.

Charlotte Gair, silver medalist at junior level last year in the Discus, steps up to the intermediate age group this year and is joined in the throws by Becky Woolley – selected in the junior girls’ Javelin.

Adam Sansom and James Hardy both compete at intermediate level – Sansom in the 400m Hurdles and Hardy in the 100m Hurdles.

The line up is completed by Christie Childs and Georgia Milton, both of whom will go in the intermediate girls’ 800m.

Mansfield’s junior team continued their strong season in the National Junior League Midland Premier Division fixture at Cannock.

In a match that was tight all day Harriers finished fourth – only missing out on second by 15.5 points.

The team now make the long trip to Swansea for the final fixture lying in second place in the league, and if they can retain that they will qualify for the national finals for the first time in the club’s history.

James Mee and Richard Woolley chalked up a fifth of Mansfield’s total points score between them - Mee competing in five track events and Woolley matching this with five on the field.

Victory in the 2K Steeplechase along with third place spots in the A string 800m, 1500m and 3000m and a second in the B string 400m Hurdles gave Mee a total of 42 points.

Woolley’s victory in the Javelin along with second place in the A string Shot, third in the A string Hammer, third in the B string Triple Jump and fifth in the B string Long Jump gave him 38 points.

The Cordin brothers took good points in the sprints – Sam coming home fourth and second in the A string 100m and 200m whilst Jonathan took third in the same events in the B string along with a third place spot in the 110m Hurdles, and a fifth in the B string Javelin.

Tom Bell had a best jump of 13.49m to take second in the Triple Jump while Dale Jacobs finished third in the B string High Jump.

Charlotte Gair and Beth Farr recorded the club’s only double of the day finishing first in the A and B string respectively in the Discus.

Beth had also won the B string Shot earlier in the day along with a third place finish in the A string Javelin.

Conditions

The windy and rainy conditions didn’t stop Hannah Wragg and Amie Grainger from both shaving half a second off their personal best times in the 3000m and 1500m respectively.

Both finished in second place spot with times of 10.36.5 and 4.59.5.

Elsewhere on the track Christie Childs ran an excellent race over 400m to win the B string in 60.2 and Jess Grieves again ran well in the 400m Hurdles to finish second.
