Sign up for our first SAL track & field match - Saturday 25th April

It's summer and that means the arrival of the Track & Field season.
Our first match of the season is the Southern Athletics League (SAL) match on Saturday 25th April in Braintree, Essex. Last year our team came 5th in the League missing promotion by just 34 match points: this year we want promotion!

Events where you can compete are:
TRACK
100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m 5000m (men) or 3000m (women), 100/110m hurdles, 400m hurdles, 2000m steeplechase (men) or 1500m/ 2000m steeplechase (women),4 x 100m relay, 4 x 400m relay

FIELD
High jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault, shot, discus, javelin, hammer
Two scorers are needed for each event and non-scorers are welcome. We also really want our U17 and U20 young athletes to compete as part of the team.

Get in contact with the Serpie captains to sign up and info. Any standard is welcome: it is a very sociable event and you never know what you could be good at until you try it. The club also organises transport with group train tickets.

Women’s team captain: email Lisa Pettit
Men’s team captain: email Nick Barberis

Interested in T&F, but the first SAL is the day before London Marathon and you don't want to race? We also need to provide officials and helpers for the field and track events: no particular experience is required and you will contribute as officials and helpers count for points as well. Please get in contact with the Officials Coordinator for details and to sign up.
