JULY 20
SIAB SCHOOLS INTERNATIONAL,
Swansea
THERE was a UK record in the 4x100m relays
as England scorched to a 40.75 time in the
boys event but there was plenty to cheer for
the other teams too.
Off the back of his championship best
performance set at the Welsh Schools just
a few weeks ago, Osian Perrin ran in the
3000m determined to win gold. England
runner William Barnicoat took it out, followed
by the Welshman and despite trying twice on
the last lap to get the win, Perrin had to settle
for silver but his determination to drive all
the way helped him break Colin Clarkson’s
Welsh record of 8:25.2, setting a new mark
in 8:23.64.
Clarkson said: “I live in the United States
but I still follow what is going on in athletics
in the homelands. I honestly can’t believe
it has taken 40 years to break that record,
it’s probably one of the last ones I held!
Congratulations to Osian, I hope he goes on
to have a successful career.”
The SIAB International was held at
Swansea University Athletics Stadium and
hosted by the Welsh Schools’ Athletics
Association and Welsh Athletics.
In traditional Welsh style, the weather
brought a mix of sun, wind and rain to
make the event more of a challenge for the
athletes. However, this do not stop some of
them who broke three championship best
performances and one U17 Welsh record that
as stood for over 40 years.
There was a whole host of strong and
talented performances throughout the
day. The day started with a championship
best performance in the girls’ hammer by
Scotland’s Kirsty Costello with a throw of
64.07m. Her teammate Isla Calvert also ran a
CBP in the girls’ 800m in 2:06.41. Then came
England’s turn in the shot with Nana Gyedu
throwing a massive 15.64m which beats the
old record by over 50cm.
England’s Sam Brereton won gold in the
high jump and was close to jumping a CBP
but missed out by just 3cm, jumping 2.09m.
His teammate Sophie Ashurst was also just
one jump away from a CBP but had to settle
for gold in a big jump of 3.76m.
The SIAB International is a chance
for young talented athletes to compete
alongside each other and get their first taste
of international and high level competition.
Speaking to the meeting manager, Steve
Jones, he said: “It has been a fantastic day
of athletics with plenty of young talent on
display.”
