Wins for Notts AC men and Coventry women in Midlands Relays

Sutton Park near Birmingham saw some top quality road racing on Saturday for the Midland Counties men’s 12-stage and women’s 6-stage events

Coventry Godiva drew on all of their club resources to win the women’s event for the first time, from a persistent City of Stoke who had Midland Cross-Country Champion Katie Holt fastest overall, Martin Duff reports.
Notts took the men’s event, for the first time since 2015, after leading from the time that top veteran Alastair Watson gave them the lead on stage two.

Men
Watson has established a good racing pedigree as an M40 but, now aged 44, said: “I am looking at some M45 age group bests later this year.” He had put Notts well ahead of a race, where the four long legs were run consecutively from the start,

Watson said that he took the race lead at the top of the hill and his 26:31 was the third quickest long stage of the day.

Behind him, George Beardmore, fifth in the Inter-Counties, was second best overall, his 26:18 gaining all of 20 places for Worcester but that was not the biggest move. That honour went to Sutton-in-Ashfield’s Sam Moakes with a 25 place advance after a 26:56 split.

Notts’ Cameron Smith was quickest on stage three and the lead was still more than two-minutes by the end of stage four.

Behind second placed Bristol, Omar Ahmed gained five slots for Birchfield to close dramatically with the fastest long leg split of 25:39.

However, the Notts AC lead was then pulled back significantly by Bristol’s Jack Millar, the Midland bronze medallist and English National fifth placer, on the short stage six

However, behind him, deep in the field, Luke Duffy was quickest with 15:14, the third best of the day. Freddie Hessian really opened things out for Notts again on stage nine, with the fastest 3.16-mile clocking of 15:09.
The winning lead then stretched to more than three minutes before 53-year-old Tim Hartley cruised round on the glory leg for a comfortable victory.

Bristol, winners for the past three championships, kept up the pressure for second and had Kurt Taylor run 15:11, for the day’s second best but his was a forlorn chase. Birchfield, took third, ahead of new outfit Western Tempo.

Earlier, Simon Byrne had taken the first stage for Swindon Harriers, in 26:47, after a sprint finish, with Ed Banks for Birchfield and Shrewsbury’s Liam Rawlings. “I started a bit behind the pack until the Pool when I put in a surge and got away,” he said. Their times were fifth, sixth and 7th best of the race.

Women
Holt had stamped her authority on the women’s race on the 5.38-mile third stage, with 29:03 and was followed home there by Coventry’s Sian Rainsley.

“I just got my head down and pushed all the way through, but it was windy on the way out,” said the 29-year-old, who added: “I want to get the Commonwealth Games 5000m standard of 15:30 and I’ve done 15:28 on the road.”

Rainsley, who said she had been as high as fifth in a World series Triathlon championship, added about her 29:32, the second best of the day: “that’s only my second race in five years but I am really pleased to get the chance to run with the team,” as her Coventry club pulled out all of the stops. For their first win here, they rounded off with former double English Schools 800m champion, World Youth bronze medallist and junior international Rowena Cole.

The women ran just two long stages, on legs one and three and Nuneaton’s Emma Styles had taken the opener in 30:27 ahead of Stoke’s Emma Taylor and Julie Emmerson, for Coventry, who ran identical 31:02 times. Styles said: “I sat behind the pack for the first mile-and-a-half before going away.”

Styles said that she had been unsure about racing here as she added: “I am doing the Manchester Marathon next week when I hope to better 2:40.”

Donna Sherwin had taken Stoke into the lead on the short second leg, ahead of Coventry, before Holt’s effort, but the biggest mover there was Sophie Coldwell whose 17:36, the third best of the afternoon, gained 14 spots for Charnwood after a steady first leg.

Holt and Rainsley then took Stoke and Coventry well clear of Amelia Samuels who advanced Wolverhampton and Bilston to third. Then Kelly Buller gained more for Stoke and the race looked to be theirs. It was not to be as Olivia Kelly moved Godiva into a narrow lead before Cole finished things off.

Now aged 30, this was Cole’s first road run since this race five years earlier, with only the odd 400m outing since then. “I wanted to help as we had a strong team and I went off thinking I had a lead and to hold it, but it was my first longer race for some time,” she said.

Previous winners Charnwood were a distant fifth behind Wolverhampton but had two of the top three fastest short stages. It was the former Europeen cross-country champion Gemma Steel who took the medal after a 17:17 final leg split. “I’ve only been doing parkruns,” said Steel of her time away from major competition.

Birchfield’s Chloe Richardson finally took the recent three-time consecutive winners Birchfield into the frame, on the final stage, with 17:25, for second quickest overall.

Bristol & West had won four women’s titles in a row but team manager Mike Down said that most of his team had gone down with Covid so were unable to compete.

MIDLAND ATHLETICS YOUNG ATHLETES 5km, CHAMPIONSIPS, Sutton Park, Sutton Coldfield, March 26

Well, it was supposed to be 5km for all of the races, but with three years having passed since the last running of this fledgling championship and the autumn young athletes relays running something under 4km, word went round that the lap to be used was the same, but they were wrong.

Official laminated maps had been produced showing that the 5km incorporated the short loop just after the start but officials were persuaded by onlookers and team managers that the maps were wrong, so the first race off, the combined under-13 event was ushered straight up the hill. When Gabriel Wagstaff led the boys back after just 13:17 something was obviously wrong.

Nevertheless, the under-15s went off on the same lap but with the lead bike taking a measurement, so that when Ash Burgess, the Midland cross-country silver medallist, led the them home, in just 12:13 and the biker’s cyclometer said 3.84km, both apologies and changes, were made.

The third race away therefore used the full 5km as planned, before Luke Davis brought them home in 15:31. Behind, Jade Charlton, who was fourth in the Midland, ran 18:37 to win the under-17 women’s title. Both led their respective races for most of the way.

In the under-13 event Ffion Collins took the girls’ title, whilst Alice Fearn won under-15 gold, in the absence of her Wreake & Soar Valley team mates Shaikira King and Zoe Gilbody who were competing in the Schools International.

Athlete participation was higher than in 2019 but still looks shy of might be called a proper championship.
