The Highgate Harriers track on the edge of the Parliament Hill Fields in North London was the setting for the ‘Night of the 10.000m PBs’ event on Saturday 10th May 2014 and our own Lee Van Haeften proved to be noteworthy winner of the ‘B’ category race in a Personal Best time of 31.37.19. A field of 23 runners had to endure wet and blustery conditions, but the close attention of runner-up Bill McKay (31.40) of Bedford & County AC pushed a gritty Lee to achieve his PB.
Meanwhile at a British Athletics League Division One fixture at Eton Mark Dooley came 6thin the 3.000m, representing Herne Hill Harriers, in a PB time of 8.36.80.
Closer to home Des Tremble finished an excellent 9thoverall in the Lucan Harriers Tom Byrne 5km road race (11.05.14) recording a time of 17.06. Des came second in the M40 category. Good run here also for Sue Lynch. Caren Crowley was 3rd lady at the Clanna Gael 5k beach run.
At the IMC Meet in Greystones on Saturday, Sean Lawlor ran brilliantly to win the senior 200m race in a time of 22.23.
In the mid-week Womens Meet and Train 5k in Irish town the Donore ladies were, once again, out in force. Great results for Donore with Emer Rattigan 2nd, Janette Strickland 3rd, Aisling Swaine 5th, Bronagh Elliot 6th and Karla Doran 8th.
