Horwich RMI athletes produced an array of personal bests at the first Sportcity Open meeting of the Winter season on Sunday.
Leading the way was Ali Alhakleem. During the Summer Ali’s best throw in the Shot Put was 8.63m however with dedication and specialist coaching Ali smashed both his personal best and the club record with an amazing 10.93, a 2.3 metre improvement ! Not to be outdone Becky Norris reduced her club U 20 60m record to 8.53 seconds whilst Jack Thomas was just one hundredth outside the U 20 mens record.
In addition personal bests were set by Matt Storey, Becky Buchanan, Rachel Pearson, Laura Bannister, Zac Howe, Hannah Storey and new member Becky Leadbetter.

2007 Christmas Heptathlon
Indoor Sportshall Agility Challenge
This was held at the Bolton Arena on Monday 3rd December 2007 and we had an incredible 65 Competitors from our own club competing! What a fantastic night, packed with fun for all those that took part. All the young athletes had to run, jump and throw in 7 different events in less than 2 hours.
This was predominantly a competition for our Under 12 years of age. Athletes were put into 7 different teams, all of which were Captained by the older Athletes i.e. from Under 13’s, & 15’s.
The winners were the “Cupid Team”, captained by Sam Mercer, with the rest of the team being, Noah Saunders, Alex Critchley, Amelia Atherton, Sally Burton, Holly Clarke, Jake Haslam, Jane Moorhouse and Penny.
It was also a fund raising opportunity and to date we estimate we may collect in the region of £400 towards a local charity Nr Chorley, “Rainbow House”.
A huge thank you for all the Parents, who helped officiating on the night. We could not have pulled off this type of event without that kind of support.
We had special guests on the night from Wigan Harriers, Don Moss and Sharon Walls (GB Athlete – presented the prizes). Sarah Friday from England Athletics also made a visit.
Finally, a big thank you to the Rotary Club of Horwich for supporting this year’s event. Rotarian Billy Bromilow commented on what a great event this was and it’s a credit to the Community of Horwich and Districts!
All our Athletes had a great night and they all competed with good spirit, great behaviour and gave their best for each event. Congratulations to everyone, they may their Coaches very proud!

A message from Neil Critchley
I have been to the Red Rose Cross Country meets this year and would like to give the Horwichs cross country junior team a mention.
Sam Boardman and Cameron Critchley are both securing top 10 spots in 5th and 9th respectively, I would like to mention that after a quarter of a mile on a very boggy surface Cameron lost his shoe, did not stop as he could not see where it went and completed in 16th on the day, one shoe Horwich record to Cameron.
It is getting a more regular occurance but two outstanding performances were given a dent sending athletes the wrong way,losers from Horwich on this occasion Jamie Crompton who was winning his race and Sam Boardman who was a strong 4th in his, well done to Simon Rasleigh and other Horwich Cross Country youngsters who are consistently showing strong performances off the track and road.
Keep it up, a fantastic future ahead I think for Horwich and the Steve Pearson and Ian Smith Dream team of runners.

STOP PRESS
Just a short note to let you know that Horwich RMI Harriers AC took part in the first meeting of the 2007/2008 Indoor Sportshall season. There were some great performances on the day, including many fine debuts from our new younger athletes.
This indoor competition is designed for all children in school years 4 to 10 (Under 11's, 13's & 15's). It produced some very exciting individual and relay races and field events, plus a few "lost voices" from the spectators.
About 30 of our young athletes competed on the day, with CONGRATULATIONS to the Under 13 Boys, who won their Age group, beating the mighty Premiership Athletic Clubs of Blackpool and Preston.
CONGRATULATIONS also to Martha Gill, who produced the best "all round" performance and won "Athlete of the Match" for the Under 11 Girls. Onlooking the event was Sarah Friday, Regional Performance & Development Co-ordinator from England Athletics (North West Region), who presented the well deserved Athlete of the Match Tee shirt to Martha (see photo).
Overall, the combined team event, Blackpool were the winners in this 1st Round, Second place went to Preston and very closely followed by Horwich RMI Harriers AC, who were 3rd Place on the day.
Full results and report will follow in the next week or two, once received from the Organisers.
