Posted on 12 May 2015 |

The British Universities & Colleges Sport Outdoor Athletics Championships held in Bedford between 2^nd and 4^th May saw many great performances from TVH athletes.

Manuel Da Silva reports:

Including the following finalists:

Clieo Stephenson 100m 3^rd (BRONZE) 11.95. It’s great to see Clieo back after her injury troubles from last year.

Clieo Stephenson and Grace Andam 4x100m 1^st (GOLD) 46.94 representing Brunel University.

Zoey Clark 400m 3^rd (BRONZE) 53.11, New Club Record. This was Zoey’s first outdoor 400m of the season and she took four tenths of a second off her own club record. The 400m race was the most competitive race of these championship with the two athletes that beat Zoey (Kirsten McAslan and Laviai Nielsen) having to run fantastic races to beat Perri Shakes Drayton’s old championship record set in 2010.

Chris McAlister 400m hurdles 5^th 53.16 PB. Chris improved his PB by over 2 tenths in his first outdoor competition of the year.

Sarah Johnson 10,000m, 2^nd (SILVER) 36:32.08 PB. Sarah has been a regular member of the TVH middle distance training group this winter and we look forward in seen her run in TVH colours this summer.

Shannon Connolly Pole Vault 7^th 3.30m. In tricky vaulting conditions in the rain, Shannon did well to score her university points in her first ever BUCS Championships

Ogo Anochirionye Long Jump 8^th 6.96m. Ogo has continued his good form from the indoors and we look forward to seeing him regularly jumping over 7m this summer.

Lia Stephenson Triple Jump 2^nd (SILVER) 12.53m. In her first outdoor competition of the season, Lia continued TVH’s great medal winning tradition in this event and was only 15cm from winning.
