MORE than 30 Croydon Harriers kicked off their summer campaigns at the Wimbledon open meeting last Sunday.
U13 sprinters Charles Hagan and Marcia Sey produced performances which put them in the top three of the UK rankings for their age group in what are very early stages of the track & field season.
Hagan's storming run of 12.30secs in the 100m propelled him to top of the UK standings in his debut outdoor season.
Sey's winning run in the U13 girls' 200m of 28.06secs is the fastest outdoor time this year in the UK for her age group.
Other sprinters who also shone included Chuks Ajeh (U15 boys' 100m, second in 12.06secs), Kayla Bowley (U13 girls' 100m, third in 13.79secs) and Tosin Salami (U15 girls' 100m, third in 13.16secs).
In the middle distance events, Stevie Lawrence bagged third in the Dave Clarke mile in five minutes and 17 seconds, and Patrick Lucas was fifth in the male equivalent in 4.36.
Omar Harhara was the pick of middle distance runners finishing joint fourth in the U17 men's 1500m in 4.26.
In the field, Emma Fossett laid down a solid opening marker in the U17 women's javelin topping the standings with a throw of 38.14m, eclipsing the English Schools' standard in the process.
There were also wins for Anieshka Mido (U20 women's shot, 8.73m) and Zoe Fossett (U20 women's javelin, 27.49m).
In parkrun action, David Brown triumphed at Riddlesdown in 18.00 and there were runners-up spots for Alex Penfold (Roundshaw Downs, 17.46) and Glenn Barden (Pymmes, 19.29).
