Ben Toomer and Dominic Kiralyfi posted excellent times in the New York marathon last Sunday.

The Club's youngsters had to battle through gale force gusts and torrential rain in the Bruce Judd Surrey Young Athletes Cross Country Relays at Stoke Park, Guildford last Saturday.

HW athletes enjoyed a weekend of outstanding success, winning the South of England Senior Men’s Cross Country Relay title, the individual British Masters marathon title and clinching gold medals across the age groups in the Surrey Masters Cross Country Championships.

The Club's teams were in action last Saturday in the first match of the Surrey Cross Country League season. The senior men launched the defence of their title in drizzly conditions over a new course at Effingham Common, and with many of last season's top scorers unavailable finished second to last year's runners-up, Kent AC.

The Senior Men’s A team equalled their best ever performance in the English National 6-Stage Road Relay Championships at Birmingham’s Sutton Park on Sunday, finishing in 13th – the same position as last year – and top South London and Surrey team. In remarkable symmetry, the B team finished in 45th, again the identical position to last year.  

HW's Senior Men’s teams put in some sterling performances at the South of England Six-stage Road Relay Championships at Crystal Palace on Sunday, nailing the double-goal of qualifying two teams for the National Championships at Sutton Park on October 5th, with a top six finish for the A team.

Warming up for the Southern Road Relay Championships next weekend, the Senior Men’s team took the silver medals in the Surrey County Road Relay Championships, while the M40 team bagged gold. And there were bronze medals for the M50 Men.

Two of the Club’s international sprinters, Theo Etienne and Chad Miller, helped HW take gold in the Senior Men’s 4x100m Relay Championship at Carshalton, teaming up with Ryan Facey and Antonio Douglas (pictured above) to win in 42.22, a new HW Club record.

Teenager Freddie Arkell gave himself an early birthday present when he stormed to victory in the U15B 200m at the England Athletics U15/U17 Championships at Bedford on Sunday, September 1, adding the outdoor title to the indoor one he achieved over the same distance in Sheffield in February.

HW's Theo Etienne made a welcome return to competitive form when he reached the final of the 100m at the British Championships in Birmingham last weekend: a race loaded with stars from Adam Gemili and Chijindu Ujah, to Zharnel Hughes and the ultimate winner, Ojie Edoburun.

It was celebration time as the HW team clinched the Southern Athletics League Division 3 (South East) title at Tooting Bec on Saturday – and with it promotion.

Teenager Chad Miller took the bronze medal in the European Junior Championships in Boras, Sweden (July 18-21) in 10.53, having won his heat in 10.67 and semi final in 10.47 just outside his season's best of 10.43 set at the end of June at the Bauhaus Junior Gala Invitation in Mannheim, Germany.

HW are aiming for a clean sweep of titles in the next few days, beginning with the final match in the Southern Athletics League today (Saturday 17th August) at Tooting Bec in which a win will guarantee the Division title and promotion to Division 2 in 2020. 

Andy Greenleaf was the fastest of the HW athletes at the Highgate Harriers’ Night of 10000m PBs at Parliament Hill Fields on Saturday 6 July.

Teenager Chad Miller  boosted his chances of selection for the European Junior Championships in Boras, Sweden (July 18-21) when he clocked a season's best of 10.43 at the Bauhaus Junior Gala in Mannheim.

With 78 personal bests, 46 seasonal bests, and two UK age records, the second running of the HW 3000m Night was a true feast of athletics, with 124 runners taking part in nine races.

The HW team enjoyed the biggest winning margin so far at the SAL match at Guildford on 15th June, taking the match by more than 100 points to strengthen the position at the top of the table.

HW Masters athletes were in the medals at the Surrey and Sussex County Championships at Kingston on June 2. Lisa Thomas (above left) won gold in the W50 400m and 300m hurdles, and bronze in the W35 800m. Emilie Bokor Ingram claimed a complete set, winning the W35 400m and taking silver in the 200m and bronze in the 100m.
