SAL match 2 - Race report

We had some strong performances from both regulars and newbies and we welcomed few come backs to our squad. As the results show, it was one of those matches where every point counted, so it was great to see everyone committing to the cause and helping to fill nearly every gap in the team. 

Well done to our race winners: Bart Porzuczek was first in the 800m with a storming second lap, whereas Laura Carmichael led from start to end keeping her rivals at distance. Anna Hollingsworth, new to the SAL, clocked a great 5000m PB with a solo run (18:10, 5th all-time Serpie time on the distance) , followed by Sophie-Anne Flanagan, who also got a PB. In most of the other events we finished consistently in 2nd/3rd place, even on field competitions where we historically have more troubles. It was also fun to compete (and spectate) for the first time in a 4x 400m mixed relays with many changes of position and a lot of suspense. Finally, special mention to Rhiannon Needham who completed her personal decathlon: 10 events in one match, probably a new club “record”!
