2026 sees the introduction of new age groups for juniors in track and field athletics (U14, U16 and U18) so a summary of the ‘old’ age group records for the U13s, U15s, U17s and U20s is shown here.
A whole new batch of club records will be set in 2026 with plenty of changes along the way. The Wycombe and Chiltern team went into the fourth and final SAL match in sixth place from the full division 1 list of eighteen clubs. The match was at Bracknell and the home club, Basingstoke, Reading, and Southampton occupied the bottom four league places so were up for a relegation battle. Wycombe and Chiltern were tenth last year so there was hope that we could improve our overall standing this time. The match was won by second in the table Windsor, but the Wycombe and Chiltern team battled hard, and in a very close match, finished second. The team ended up a brilliant fourth in the league overall. Conditions started dry and with a light blustery wind, but by 3pm there was persistent drizzle. Women
Christina Poulsen and Eva Carsberg did well in short sprints with Christina second in both A string races in excellent times, 12.49 and 25.37. Amy Hogbin ran A string 400m and in B string Evelyn Wildman made a good debut at the event, running 59.06 to be second, a new U17 club record. Alice Brown was second in non-scoring 400m. There were good points in middle distance with Liv Brown second in A string and Tash Taylor winning B string in a PB 2.19.77. Soraya Lockwood was second in A string 1500m in 4.54.98 and Zoe Doyle won B string. Bev Whitfield was second in A string 5000m and Roxie Jones was third in B string.

Florence Lee-Rubis and Lisa Fitzgerald had good runs in 100m hurdles and Lisa ran well over 400m hurdles. Issy Robinson was just pipped to the A string win in 1500m steeplechase and Ivy Uhart was third in B string.

Jack Wallwork was A string long jump and Ryan Allbrook was B string long jump and triple jump. Oliver Dorrell was A string javelin and Ben Coughlin second in B string hammer. The 4 x 100m team was fourth. The mixed 4 x 400m relay saw the team record holders Isaac Jessop-Tranter, Evelyn Wildman, Amy Hogbin and Euan Pinder reunite to be third in 3.45, and the B team of Rowan Fuss, Zoe Doyle, Tash Taylor and James Twallin were second in 3.52. The team will look to keep up these high standards next year.

It was an excellent weekend for Chiltern athletes at the English Schools Championships, held in very warm conditions at Alexander Stadium, Birmingham on Friday and Saturday. There were over 1800 athletes representing their county school associations at the Championships and ten Chiltern athletes were in action, eight for Buckinghamshire Schools and two for Hertfordshire Schools. From this there were three medals, a great achievement for those athletes. Just before lunch on the Saturday Evelyn Wildman and Issy Robinson ran in the Intermediate Girls 1500m Steeplechase. Running a well-paced race in a straight final Evelyn pushed on in the last 250m to record a victory in a big new PB and Championship Record of 4.54.55. Issy ran a strong race and was on for a strong PB but fell at the water, affecting her time and position, to finish 11th in 5.29.52. Evelyn will now compete for England in the SIAB international at Derby next Saturday against athletes from Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
