RESULTS
Just to clarify, that the results I publish can be different to those that are shown on the Power of 10. The differences relate to seasons and personal best performances. For example in the recent EYAL results, an athlete in the 200m ran (24.1), and on his profile his season’s best was shown as (23.88) indoors. As the 200m indoors and outdoors are totally different type of events, I had shown the (24.1) as a season’s best.
The Power of 10 publishes separate UK rankings for indoor and outdoor performances.

HISTORY OF SBH IN THE EASTERN YOUNG ATHLETES LEAGUE
The Eastern Young Athletes League was formed in 2013, with 28 teams taking part. Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers entered as a composite team with Barnet & District, and finished in 7th place qualifying for the plate final. The team had two third and two second places in the first four fixtures, and in the final fixture we went to Chelmsford and had our first win in the league. The plate final took place in Cambridge in which we finished in 6th place.

2014 our composite team finished the season in 8th place, qualifying for the plate final in Ipswich, in which we finished in 6th place.
2015 our composite team finished the season in 8th place, qualifying for the plate final in Thurrock, in which we finished in 5th place.
2016 our composite team finished the season in 5th place, qualifying for the Top 6 final in Stevenage, in which we finished in 6th place.
2017 we competed as Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers, and over the previous 12 months our membership of young athletes was exceptional. This being the case we finished the season in 3rd place, qualifying for the Top 6 final in Bedford. It was unfortunate the UKYDL final was the same weekend, which meant our EYAL team badly affected, and we finished in 6th place.
2018 with the hard work of our Team Managers, Coaches, plus the quality of young athletes, we finished the season as League Champions. The Top 6 final was held in Ipswich, and was a see-saw all day, eventually finishing a close second to Havering.
2019 was another successful season, winning 3 and 2nd in the other fixtures, and finished 3rd in a close run contest to Havering and Dacorum & Tring. The Top 6 final was held in Thurrock, and again we finished second to Havering.
2020 due to Covid the season was cancelled.
2021 following the lifting of the Covid restrictions, there was only 1 fixture which took place at Watford in September, in which we finished in 2nd place.
2022 the season was reduced from 5 to 4 fixtures, the 4th fixtures were cancelled to the adverse hot weather. It was decided that it would be a Top 8 final, which took place at Chelmsford, and we finished in 3rd place to Havering & Chelmsford.
2023 was back to 5 fixtures, and we finished the season in 4th place. The Top 6 final took place at Chelmsford, in which we produced an excellent performance, finishing 2nd place to Chelmsford.

MONDO DUPLANTIS OUT-SPRINTS KARSTEN WARHOLM IN MUCH-ANTICIPTED HEAD-TO-HEAD – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

Scandinavian shoot-out sees pole vault star defeat the 400m hurdles legend over 100m at the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich. The MONDO DUPLANTIS versus KARSTEN WARHOLM head-to-head over the neutral territory of 100m lived up to the hype in Zurich on Wednesday (Sept 4) as the pole vault world record-holder beat the 400m hurdles specialist by a tenth of a second in (10.37 w0.1).

As predicted by many, DUPLANTIS enjoyed a better start but then held his advantage to the finish and even had the luxury of a brief show-boating sideways stare at his rival as he crossed the finish line. “I’ve been watching too many SHA’CARRI RICHARDSON videos,” he later joked. With both athletes operating outside of their comfort zone, it was DUPLANTIS who looked most comfortable. Organisers Puma, Red Bull and Weltklasse Zurich, had proclaimed this was “100m to settle it all”. Certainly, the winning margin of around a metre was slim but decisive.

With this run DUPLANTIS has now gone to No.3 on the Swedish 100m rankings for 2024.  So what next? A tilt at the European Indoor Champs over 60m? “Maybe with SYDNEY (MCLAUGHLIN-LEVRONE) not running Brussels, we can race over 400m,” he smiled. WARHOLM was magnanimous in defeat – although this was always a light-hearted clash, full of smiles and friendly trash talk – but the Norwegian will not enjoy his “loser’s prize” of having to wear a Swedish kit in the Diamond League on Thursday night when both athletes will revert to their specialist event. “I’ll have to scrub myself clean afterwards,” he joked. As a spectacle, the race was a big success. Around 2600 spectators filled the home straight stand and some clever use of lighting, smoke and post-race fireworks ensured the Letzigrund didn’t feel half empty.

There was also pre-race entertainment with break dancers, sprint races to try to find ‘the next Mujinga Kambundji’ and of course the women’s pole vault competition at the city’s train station which was won by NINA KENNEDY of Australia with (4.87m). As the main race drew close there were plenty of short interviews with elite athletes in the crowd. Both athletes also appeared wearing hoods like boxers about to step into the ring, whereas WARHOLM’S coach, LEIF OLAV ALNES, wore a colourful and comedic skin tight suit with Viking horns. The lights flashed in the arena and as the athletes took to the blocks it was time to judge the accuracy of the numerous online polls that had tried to predict the result.

The main hope was that it would not be an anticlimax. The infamous Donovan Bailey versus Michael Johnson 150m clash in 1997 ended with JOHNSON pulling up injured mid-race. With DUPLANTIS against WARHOLM, everyone simply wanted a good, close race, which is what they got. Back in 1997 the shot putter and world’s strongest man winner GEOFF CAPES famously beat distance runner BRENDAN FOSTER in a 200m race. It was no disgrace, though, as CAPES was known for his power and sprinting ability.

However, people still talk about it today and, similarly, the DUPLANTIS versus WARHOLM race will no doubt be talked about for years to come.

CHRIS THOMPSON ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT FROM ELITE RUNNING – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

The double Olympian and 2010 European 10,000m silver medallist will officially hang up his shoes at the Great South Run, CHRIS THOMPSON has announced he is retiring from elite running after a professional career spanning more than two decades. The 43-year-old, who’s represented Great Britain in two Olympics and claimed a European 10,000m silver medallist, will officially hang up his shoes at next month’s Great South Run (October 20). THOMPSON announced his retirement live on the BBC at the Great North Run (September 8) and afterwards, on his Instagram, thanked “both the Great Run team and BBC for letting me cry with joy on TV one last time!”. The Brit said: “I don’t know where to start. And I’m sure it won’t come of a shock to all that know me, but my time has come to start a new chapter. “There isn’t enough space or time to go through all the thanks I want to make. Just know I will thank you all personally if not already! As a young lad I never imagined the joy and amazing people I’d meet along the way. It’s hard to explain what the last 30 years has meant and done for me. I’ll take time to digest and hopefully process it all.”

THOMPSON represented Great Britain at two Olympics, firstly over 10,000m at London 2012 and then in the marathon at Tokyo 2020. Making his debut at a Games on home soil, THOMPSON clocked (29:06.12) for 25th in the 10,000m. Incredibly, nine years later, THOMPSON qualified for the Tokyo Olympics with a personal marathon best of (2:10:52) at the age of 39, just five days after he became a father to son THEO. He also claimed a medal for Great Britain on the international stage in 2010, securing 10,000m silver behind compatriot MO FARAH at the European Championships. THOMPSON made his international debut in 1998 and has represented his country over cross-country, track and the roads.

“I started as an immature, hard to take serious, silly billy. I finish proud to have never changed,” THOMPSON added. “I’m excited about starting a new chapter and can’t wait to finally rest and watch from the sidelines. I’ll always be a runner and will bounce around the odd run or two. But it’s time to give the body a rest and set goals around a new lifestyle and commitments. “What’s next? I’m not going anywhere. In time I’ll be able to form a new way of operating in the sport I love. I’ll do my best to ensure the sport keeps everyone’s dreams alive like it has for me. If the next chapter is half as good as the last one, I’m in for a treat. “Time to start digging out the old embarrassing photos which aren’t digital! But I’ll try to enjoy this final six weeks and say thank you to everyone! You made it more special than I get my head around.”

JOSH KERR SMASHES LONG-STANDING %TH MILE AVENUE MILE RECORD – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

Briton runs (3:44.3) to take four seconds off SYDNEY MAREE’S 1981 mark while KARISSA SCHWEIZER equals LAURA MUIR’S women’s course record. In September 1981, SYDNEY MAREE finished fifth in the World Cup 1500m in Rome before winning the 5th Avenue Mile in New York City later that month in (3:47.52). The South African-born athlete demolished a top-class field that included STEVE CRAM, STEVE SCOTT, JOHN WALKER, THOMAS WESSINGHAGE and EAMON COGHLAN by 15 metres and his time would remain the course record for 43 years. Finally, the record was broken on Sunday (Sept 8) by JOSH KERR in very similar circumstances. Like MAREE, KERR had finished only fifth in a big 1500m – at the Weltklasse in Zurich a few days earlier – and Kerr also ran away from his rivals, hitting the front from halfway and winning by more than four seconds.

Helped with a favourable tailwind, KERR’S time was (3:44.3) as he shattered MAREE’S mark. American JOSH HOEY finished as runner-up in (3:48.9), followed by Kenya’s AMON KEMBOI in (3:49.3). KERR also successfully defended his title as he won in New York 12 months ago in 3:47.9.

“I said to the meet director beforehand, I took SYDNEY MAREE’S NCAA (1500m) record off him in 2018 when I was running for the University of New Mexico,” KERR said.  “I know how hard that was when that was the time. “It was a nice, nostalgic moment trying to go after his record today. He’s one of the most successful 1500m runners in the world’s history. Those are the kind of times I’m going after.”

HOBBS KESSLER, who was fifth in the Olympic 1500m, tried to stay with KERR in the middle of the race but faded to ninth as Britain’s TOM KEEN was 10th and NEIL GOURLEY 16th. Like KERR, KARISSA SCHWEIZER had raced in Zurich a few days earlier, placing fourth in the 5000m in (14:47.50). Here the American, who is better known as a 5000m and 10,000m runner, dominated on the roads on her debut in the New Balance-sponsored race as she equalled LAURA MUIR’S women’s course record of (4:14.8) to win. Kenya’s DORCAS EWOI was second in (4:17.3) with another Kenyan, SUSAN EJORE, third in (4:18.3) and MELISSA COURTNEY-BRYANT of Britain fourth. “I feel like I’ve just been kind of getting momentum going as the season’s been actually ending,” SCHWEIZER said. “But, it’s been fun to just race and not have pressure coming into these races. Even like the night before I was like, oh, maybe I could even win this thing.”

On seeking technical advice “MailChimp” was recommended as the best way for SBH to go forward. There is one thing you should be aware off is that when you receive an email from me, the footer at the bottom has 4 options, of which one is “Unsubscribe Me From List”. Could I ask you not to select this as if you do you will be automatically removed from my distribution list.
