Two of the Club’s international sprinters, Theo Etienne and Chad Miller, helped HW take gold in the Senior Men’s 4x100m at the Surrey County Relay Championships at Carshalton last weekend, teaming up with Ryan Facey and Antonio Douglas (pictured above) to win in 42.22, a new HW Club record. The quartet of Ivan Suarez, Pete McLeod, Will Toms and Kashane Gayle took the bronze medals. There was victory too for the 4 x 400m team of Miller, Devonte Casely-Hayford, Jaleel Roper and Andrew Sarpong, clocking 3:34.16, while Hamed Agboke, Ivan Suarez, Pete McLeod and Will Toms took the silver medals in 3:38.61.

A week after taking gold in the English U15B 200m Championships at Bedford, teenager Freddie Arkell anchored the U15B 4x100m team to victory in a Championship record – also a HW Club record – of 45.37 seconds. In an impressive display the quartet of Amir Howe, Emmanuel Adetu, Efe Peters and Arkell finished 20 metres ahead of the silver medallists. The senior women’s 4x100m team won silver and the U17 Women 4 x 100m team took bronze medals.

In the Combined Championships Jenny Steinitz won the gold medal in the Senior Women’s competition by more than 400 points with Ann-Kathrin Mielke taking the bronze medal. Teenager Ellen Weir won the silver medal in the U17 Women’s 1500m steeplechase.
