Hercules Wimbledon have 11 gold medal-winners at Surrey County Track & Field Championships

Hercules Wimbledon had 11 champions at the Surrey County Track and Field Championships – along with eight silvers and six bronzes, writes George Mallett.

Matthew Wehrle took U15 300m gold in a new PB of 38.46. Wehrle has been in impressive form indoors this season, finishing sixth in the England Athletics U15 Championships over the same distance.

Florrie Foster won two medals, taking the U13 shot put title with a throw of 7.70m, almost a metre improvement on her PB. She took silver in the high jump final (1.30m).

Millie Thorpe successfully defended her U20 800m title, running 2:17.10 to win by more than eight seconds and clocking a new PB.

U20 women Kyra Stone ran a PB of 26.01 over 200m to take silver by six hundredths of a second.

Theo Creed (U13 boys) won 1,500m silver in 4:42, improving his PB by almost 20 seconds. Cyrus Sheikh finished just outside the podium though will likely take some solace from a first breakthrough under the five-minute barrier (4:58).

Darcey O’Shea won U20 javelin silver thanks to a 20.77m throw and then came back on Sunday to take shot put bronze (7.72m).

James Osola took 200m senior men’s bronze in 22.37.

Hercules success continued with eight further titles on day two.

Isabella Harrison, having qualified from Saturday’s heats, dominated the U15 girls 800m, running a PB of 2:15.29.

Neva Jansen picked up two medals on day two, U15 hammer gold (22.25m) and silver in the discus (23.60m).

In the same age group Vivienne Jonczyk was an impressive winner of the 300m (42.18) for a big PB.

Mabel Rose-Scales took the U17 high jump crown, reclaiming a title she last won back in 2021 as an U15 – 1.60m was her best height . She won due to fewer failures at the previous jumps after Tori-Ann Anderson also cleared the same barrier.

Freddie Arkell was a dominant winner of the U20 200m, running 21.95 to take his fourth outdoor title, adding to triumphs previously over 100m, 200m and long jump.

Charlie Wyllie won by more than three seconds in the senior men’s 1,500m, defending the title he has claimed the previous two years.

George Johnson took Hercules only title in the men’s throws, a massive 55.59m for U17 javelin gold.

That mark has him as the fifth best in his age group in the whole of the UK this year.

Mark Andrews won gold in the senior men’s triple jump, silvers in the high jump and javelin and discus bronze.

Freia Harper-Tee added to the medals with a 5:10.84 1,500m to pick up the bronze in the U13 girls.

Ariana Freemantle took long jump bronze (4.18m) in the same age group.

Willow Scales was only denied U15 gold on countback in the high jump (1.50m). Ariana Shala cleared 9.97m to take silver in the U15 triple jump.

Alex Milne took the Bristol Half Marathon title in 68:55.

What makes the performance all the more remarkable is that Milne, who finished 18th in the elite race at April’s London Marathon, ran 10 miles both before and after the event to complete more than 50km on the day.
