Regional Combined Events Championships  25th June
Jorden Best represented the county in his first pentathlon in the regional championships, and came away with 4th place, just missing out on 3rd by 19 points after a strong all-round performance.

80m Hurdles	12.3 secs
Long Jump	4.89m
Shot	10.89m	PB
High Jump	1.71m	CR
800m	2m 35.7s

In the last event, the 800m, Jorden, at this point 2nd, tracked the then leader and just finished in front of him, but competition was fierce, with some fast performances from other competitors.  Jorden's pentathlon result of 2355 points is a new Club Record, and qualifies Jorden to compete in the UK Combined Champs to be held in Southampton in September.  Could Jorden be the new Dean Macey ?

Southern Mens League  9th July High Wycombe
Biggleswade were 3rd out of 4
With holidays, injuries and some at the English Schools' Championships, numbers were down, we had only three athletes here.  The numbers game took its toll and in the end Biggleswade came out very tired in 3rd place, and promotion hopes ended.  The Campaign will have to be put on ice until next year.

Race For Life (5K)  Bedford, 17th July
Below is is list of the ladies who competed in the above race, not in any particular order as the run was not conducive to racing.  Some ran, some walked, and some did a bit of both in the very hot conditions along the banks of the river Ouse in Bedford.  Well done to all who competed for this very worth-while cause  (aproximate times shown where known).

U13 Inter-Counties  Kingston, Surrey, 24th July
6 members of Biggleswade AC competed in this event and was the second highest contingent of athletes within the county behind Bedford & County.

Helen Brown	70 m Hurdles	13.1 secs	7th in heat
Helen Brown	Long Jump	3.80 m	13th in pool
Katie Bland	Discus	20.38 m	4th in pool	PB CR
Chloe Best	Javelin	15.31 m	10th in pool	PB
Chloe Best	1500 m	6.02.56 min	12th
Jasmine Coughtry	Shot	7.17 m	7th in pool	PB CR

Jasmine was very plucky as she had whiplash from a car accident the day before, and was a little stiff, but she wished to compete and not let her team down.  Helen also competed in the 4 x 100 m quartet and Bedfordshire came home in 13th. In the overall team competition Bedfordshire Girls should be 8th (there is a dispute with the result at this time)

Conner Best	Discus	20.75 m	6th
Conner Best	80 m Hurdles	17.01 secs	7th in pool
Billie Balaam	Shot	8.69 m	4th

Connor achieved his Hurdles time after falling at the penultimate hurdle, having already got a bad burn from the shower in the morning. Another plucky lad who put all his effort in to compete in difficult conditions.  Billie also competed in the discus with the team, being let down by an athlete not turning up.  Billie got to compete in the 3rd round only but hit the cage therefore a no throw.  With the athlete not turning up this left a space for Tom Bruce to compete in the county team and finish a credible 11th in the Javelin for a new PB 17.30 m.  Conner was also in the 4 x 100 m contingent and the team were disqualified.  In the final Boys result Beds were 7th with 277 points.

Watford  28th July 2005
Alice Middleton competed in this event, which also incorporated British Milers Club (BMC) races.  Alice opted for the 800 m and in her race romped home to win by 25 m and a new PB of 2.30.54 mins.
