Race Report: Watford Open, London Landmarks and parkrun

Good Evening, Race Report fans. I hope you have had a wonderful weekend.
​
Kicking things off on the track this week, I’m afraid that - at present - results from the Lee Valley Open are not available. However, there were some great performances from Chiltern Harriers AC athletes at the first of the Watford Harriers Open Graded meets of the year on Wednesday, 3 April. Running in the 1500m, there were PB performances by: Annie-Rose Quantrill (5.40.44); Emilia Ingham (5.45.97); Hector Gamblen (5.17.49); Bea Robinson (5.26.49); Emily Ford (4.52.29); Edward Johnson (4.33.56); Kara Gorman (4.38.78); Charlie Quantrill (4.35.78); Callum Powell (4.24.95); and Tom Ford (4.21.63). Also having excellent runs in the 1500m were: Jacob McCall (5.26.09); Isaac McCall (5.35.93); Isaac Taylor (5.08.53); Maya Davis (5.09.63); Lydia Cross (5.16.42); Luke Coultate (5.03.66); Issy Robinson (4.53.85); Felix Danielli (4.56.23); Frankie Baxter (4.48.99 - a season’s best); Rory Hilton (4.37.81); Isaac Jessop-Tranter (4.02.47); and Alex Hughes (4.04.78). In the 3000m, there were great runs by Maddie Hughes (10.16.60); Leon Doran (8.42.72); and Aran Davidson (9.19.33).

Moving on to the weekend, there were parkrun first placed finishes for Ash Finch (16.50 at Cassiobury Park) and Aidan Suleyman (16.54 at Robertson, South Africa). Jack Turner earned himself an ll-time parkrun PB at Five Arches, in a time of 17.51.

And finally, in today’s London Landmarks Half Marathon Ben Hannen became the proud owner of a new half marathon PB of almost a minute (1.36.07), and Jennifer Webb ran well to complete the event in 2.08.04.
