There was a double top for the track team on the weekend of May 10th/11th when the Yeovil (&Wells) team won both their British Men’s Div 4 League match (on the Saturday) and the South West League Division 1 match on the Sunday. Both matches were hosted at Yeovil. Some 18 of the Harrier members were taking part bolstering the Yeovil Olympiads team. Later in the week we also saw some fantastic running and pbs at the May edition of the Yeovilton 5km road race, where 20 Harriers raced.

There was another of the great nights of track running on Monday evening (May 5th) at Millfield when a bumper entry of athletes took part in the British Milers Club annual Academy races over the classic middle distances of 800m & 1500m, and the 3,000m. Over 30 Harriers and team-mates from the Yeovil Olympiads raced and some 17 or so of them recorded personal bests despite blustery weather with heavy downpours at times. it's difficult to pick out the star performer because there were so many.

Please indicate your membership number/details of that organsiation on the completed form you post back to the Membership Secretary.
