A shorter report this week but excellent performances from a strong turn out of young Harriers at the final CDL of the year as Peter Fendley reports:
The final Nottinghamshire County Development League match of the season took place on Saturday 23rd August at Mansfield. This league has continually grown in popularity since its inception in 2022. In the first year 576 athlete events were undertaken, continually rising each year, to 933 events this year. In 2026 the new under 16 age group will be introduced into the league giving them excellent development opportunities competing against older athletes and, in some cases, against their parents!
This weekend's match saw a very good turnout from the Harriers multi-events group along with three of our seniors, 12 athletes in total competing in 27 events. Some of the best performances of the day were by ever improving Darcey Croshaw, achieving pb's in all her three events (High Jump, Long Jump and Shot) which will give her a lot of confidence when she joins several other Harriers at Chelmsford in the English Schools multi-events finals in late September. Harry Cole finished his T&F season with a strong performances and two PBs. James Lonsdale chose the day to put in a very good speed endurance session, competing in the 5000m, 1500m and 800m, winning his first two events, which bodes well for his planned road races in the near future.
