There was success for two Woodford Green with Essex Ladies Athletes on the international scene at the weekend, with Joseph Dewar and Jack Lawrie impressing in Germany.
Competing for Great Britain’s junior team in the Mannheim International meeting, Dewar won the 100m with a personal best and broke the club's Under-20 record in the process.
Having won his heat by equalling his personal best time of 10.41 (-0.5), Dewar won the final with a new best of 10.34 (+0.1). He went on the run the first leg of the 4x100m for the victorious GB relay team too.
HCA member Lawrie was also competing in Mannheim and looking to build on last weekend’s national 400m hurdle win at Bedford.
Having missed out on the qualifying mark for the European Junior Championships a week earlier, Lawrie did the necessary this time around by placing second in a personal best time of 51.77. He will now hope to be added to the GB team for the Championships.
Daniel Rowden was also seeking international selection after falling short of the qualifying mark in the 800m a week earlier.
A time of 1.49.32 at the British Milers Club Grand Prix in Watford was still not enough for Rowden, though it superseded his previous personal best.
