* Further results are available on the Thanet roadrunners webpage.
Just a few notes from me:
As I will be pretty busy with sorting out the course and marshalling on the day, you need to see Bri Zoll (Womens Team manager) for team selection and payment, this will include both male and female Invicta teams.
The selection policy for the senior men's team is the quickest 4 runners available on the day, to form the A-team, I take into account results from previous rounds of the relays, so please view these to get some idea as who the lucky four are likely to be! (This has always been my own selection policy since undertaking this role and will remain so) all other runners will form B and even C squads if needed.
After this race, as in previous years, there is a prize presentation for the series. Clubs usually bring american style suppers for their members to enjoy, so a kind request from me that anyone staying for the prize presentation and who is planning to stay on, bring some food or drink which can be shared out on the Invicta table!
A last request : we still need 2-3 more marshalls, so if you can lend a hand on the night, then please let me know, the positions are very simple and you'rr only needed from around 7pm until 8:30pm or until the last runner passes your marshalling post!

Watford Graded Open - July 2009 -

Jake Rogers 2nd fastest ever u-15 - Jason yet again sub-2 mins

Pictured right are the front ranks of 180 athletes being marshalled to the start for 17 races at 800m at the July Graded Open at Watford on Weds 1 July.

This SINGLE event attracted over twice the total number that normally turn out at league matches which have up to 15 events - could it be that, at league matches, over half of these 180 would not be there at all because they would have to do other events not of their choosing....?
The first 10 races were for those aiming to finish in over 2 minutes and, in Race 10, Jake Rogers [4th from right] limbered up for his English Schools' call-up in 2m 05.70 - 2nd fastest ever by an u-15 IEK male.
The remaining 7 races were for those who declared a sub-2 minute performance - in race 15, Jason Prickett (216) posted 1m 58.46 for his 3rd consecutive sub-2 in 14 days.
These performances are already included in our 2009 ranking lists - see below
