A number of the Harriers middle distance squad were running at the highly competitive Watford Graded meeting held every 2nd Wednesday in search of a fast race before the county championships, and there were some very encouraging performance on a cool and wet night.
In the 800m Ethan Mehmet reduced his PB by an amazing 17 seconds by posting a 2012 debut race time of 2.27.6, with the promise of much more during the year, and Fran Ashworth had an early season run out with 2.26.1.
In the 1500m races Kayli Walford ran her second fastest time ever over the distance by posting an impressive 5.05.2 in her first race of the season. Also in action were the U15 1500m specialists Jack Hope and Josh Cara who both ran impressive races each knocking around 10 seconds off their previous best, with Jack running 4.35.9, and Josh recording an impressive 4..25.7. Tabatha Walford also ran but paid for a fast start by tiring on the last lap with 5.30.5.
Well done to all.
