Fast Times at Sports City

Four Tipton athletes produced some fast times up at Sports City over the weekend. In the Men's 1500m D race Ian Rawlinson produced his second fastest time ever to come 5th in 3.48.52 and his fastest since 2006. In the 1500m E race Tom Holden also ran his second fastest time with 3.49.51 to come home the winner in a very tight race. Great to see these boys back in form and let's hope they can push on and get into the UK Champs.

 

We had two competitors in the 5000m with Phil Nicholls and Ryan Mcleod. The pace was good but then slowed slightly as the pacemaker dropped off, meaning it was left to a last lap dust up. Ryan hit the front 200 out but could hold of the challenge of the fast finishing Raeside and Russell. Ryan finished up with a great 4 second pb of 13.54. Just behind him was Phil in 6th place with a v solid 13.57 (still finishing with a 61 last lap!), which bodes well for a good run next week for GB.
