Vale Royal Athletic Club came back from the 2005 Cheshire Track and Field County Championships with a stunning number of 22 Gold medals which left the club delighted with the success.  Club President who spent most of the weekend at the Championships was pleased with the medals and individuals successes with many new personal bests for lots of athletes who competed.

Laura Lambert was voted best female track athlete of the championships with a stunning UKA grade one time, followed by Hanna Hewitson who was voted best female field athlete of the championships with a UKA grade one distance award.  Club President Harry Evans was absolutely delighted with the awards provided to the athletes of Vale Royal AC.

There are lots of athletes who turned in very memorable performances over the weekend, especially the three athletes who broke Championship records.  Hanna Hewitson contested four events and won 3 Gold medals in the event of Long Jump, High Jump and Triple Jump in the under 17 ladies age group and came fourth in the 100 metres final. 

Hanna broke the under 17 ladies triple jump championship record with a new mark of 11.09 metres, which had previously been held for six years by another Vale Royal Athlete Helen Williams.  Jumps Coach Neil Templeman was delighted that Helens old record (11.03m) had been broken by another athlete from Vale Royal AC, as this was a tough record to beat, yet he is excited because Hanna has another year in this age group next year!!!!

Hayley Jones won two gold medals in the Under 17 ladies age group and broke the 300 metre sprint championship record 41.48 seconds to win the gold medal.  Hayley also won the Under 17 ladies 100 metres to secure her second gold medal of the championships to start the summer off in fine fettle.

Stevie Stockton was also in action in the under 17 ladies 3000 metres where Stevie battered the old championship best with a brand new time of 10.22.79 minutes to take off an astonishing 43 seconds off the old championship record in hot and humid conditions.  Stevie was so pleased with her medal and new championship record that she celebrated with an ice cream!!!

Club President Harry Evans would like to thank all the Coaches and Parents who supported athletes during the weekend and most importantly thank all the athletes who participated in the Championships on behalf of the club.
