THERE were more high class performances from Maidenhead Athletic Club juniors last weekend at the Basingstoke Open Meeting.

David Lambeth took silver medals in the under-15 100m and 200m sprints, recording personal best times of 13.35 seconds and 27.43 respectively.

It was another successful day also for Zoe Overall, who took silver in the under-15 javelin with a club record throw of 19.17m.

A day later, the girls were in action at the first Alder Valley League meeting of the season. Keren Hollands set new club records in the under-17 hammer and shot putt with throws of 23.75m and 6.81m, whilst sister Bryony also claimed a club record with a run of 2.49.5 in the under-15 800m.

Overall then bettered the under-15 javelin record that she set only 24 hours earlier with a throw of 20.16m and claimed another personal best in the shot putt.

There were personal bests also for Justine Griffiths (under-13 75m and long jump), Jane Allen (under-15 100m) and Caitlin Clark (under-17 long jump).

Under-11s are classified as non scoring in the Alder Valley League but the Maidenhead team of Georgia Waggett, Grace Goldfinch, Toni Dibley and Elle Holloway produced one of the highlights of the afternoon with a storming win in the 4x100m relay.
