About: Lester Medcalf

I’ve been away for a little while and with the summer athletics season coming to an end I haven’t had much to tell you about. However we had the East Grinstead 10k race over this last weekend where a number of us helped with the marshalling. A couple of our athletes took part and one...

Last league matches of the summer Our last league matches of this rather different season took place over this last weekend – under 13s and under 15s on a cloudy sun-less Saturday while the under 17s and under 20s had lots of warm sunshine on Sunday. Both matches at K2. The season has seen a...

Bank Holiday Open Meeting at K2 Some excellent performances at K2 on Bank Holiday Monday from our athletes. Ollie Strange in particular competed in the 100, 200 and 300 metres races with a first place in the 300 race and pbs in both the 100 and 300. Lewis Jones also had a couple of pbs...

It’s been a busy few weeks (and weekends) recently – and so I quite enjoyed a weekend without any athletics to watch or to measure. So instead I had a friend’s 70th birthday to celebrate on Saturday, and then a family with our own sons and wives and children – and dogs – at Tilgate Park...

Last Saturday at K2 A deleted team of just 7 athletes for our senior match did their best but inevitably we didn’t score too many points, not that that matters too much in the league this season. Just one first place and that was a bit of a surprise because the athlete who gained the...

Last week at K2 Just a short catch up from last week at K2 on what was at times a rather wet afternoon – well I certainly got wet in 2 of the 4 long jump sessions I helped to judge. One of the jumpers was our own Chloe Wibrew who produced a couple of...

K2 last Saturday We had a small number of athletes competing on Saturday at K2 but I haven’t yet seen the full results. I’ll tell you more I see the full results – from both track and field events. For the first time in a number of weeks there are no matches this coming weekend,...

News from match at Brighton  We had 7 athletes taking part in last Sunday’s match at Brighton as part of the Team Sussex squad along with athletes from Lewes and Eastbourne. Good to see Lottie Clarke in the 200 metres and a leg of the 4 x 100 relay in her first match for us...

Last Sunday at Tonbridge The sports facilities at Tonbridge School – and especially the athletics facilities – always make a great impression on visitors to the track – and especially those visiting it for the first time, as was the case for most of us on Sunday. We managed to find some shade from Sunday’s...

Last Saturday at Brighton Yes this last weekend has been very busy with competitions on both Saturday and Sunday On Saturday we had the Sussex Championships for both under 11s and under 13s at Brighton and then on Sunday we went to K2 for a match for our senior athletes (including under 17s and under...
