SEAA Inter-Counties Championships , Abingdon 24th August
Biggleswade AC had 7 athletes selected to compete for Bedfordshire in this prestige event (from this event a South of England team will be selected).  The event was against the other 19 counties in the south from Cornwall to Kent to Norfolk.  There is only one athlete per county per event. 
In the U20 women's category, Biggleswade AC members were half of the team, Lauren Ambrose (High Jump) and Rachel Baust (400 M) both competing above their age group as they are U17's. 
In the U15 girls age group Biggleswade AC had 3 from the 7 girls attending - Kay Brown (75 M Hurdles), Sammy Freeman (Javelin) and Frankie Birch (Shot).  This is a true reflection of how far we as a club have moved forward in the past few years having more athletes every year taking County honours and competing at the highest level. 
WELL DONE TO ALL ATHLETES.

AAA Championships  Sheffield 16/17 August
At these junior U15/U17 Championships, Biggleswade AC had 3 athletes take part.  In the U17 women's 300 m Rachel Baust was in the same heat as the favourites for the title, and despite a good run could only manage 6th (44.5 secs) and did not proceed into the semi final later that day with the final on Sunday.
On the Sunday Lauren Ambrose competed in the U17 women's High Jump.  Lauren was credited with 4th with 1.65 M with the winner jumping 1.71 M, but on count back Lauren was placed 6th as she had more failures than the athletes above her. 
Also on Sunday Kay Brown competed over 75 M hurdles, Kay was in the 2nd heat, with 2 from each heat going forward to the final, and the 2 fastest losers.  This was Kay's first outdoor AAA's Championships.  As the race proceeded Kay was in 3rd place, but made the mistake of looking over her shoulder, and lost some momentum and finished in 7th (12.28 secs) but was 8/100th outside her PB.
