Quite a large Bury contingent travelled to Trafford for the first of four Cheshire League meetings. Individual victories were limited with just Jena Dickinson (100m and B shot), Ella Hall (A shot), Jay Cook (discus) and the under 13 boys sprint relay squad scoring maximum points. However, there were a large number of lifetime best performances set much to the delight of covering team manager Fiona Healey who was very pleased with the team spirit.
Amongst those athletes setting new bests in the sprint distances were Archie Hall, Tom Gibson and Jemima Miles (75m); Amy Garroch, Ella Hall, Jena Dickinson, Grace Gibson and Devonne Samuels (100) and Jacob Allen, Noah Carter and Albert Cottam (200m). In the distance events there were new bests for Thomas Donnelly and Corrine Newton (600m); Joshua Birmingham, Alison Dale. Freya Potts, Erin Garroch, Reilly Carson and Esther McGrath (800m); Gil Vaughan and Matthew Lowe (1500m) and Byron Edwards (3000m).
There were also plenty of new bests set in the field events including Rosella Togo and Catherine Russell (high jump); Summer Whitfield and Lola Potts (long jump); Jayden Barlow, Scarlet Hamilton and Holy Crow (shot); Jay Cook, Leah Hancock, Connie Potts and Anna Gisbourne (discus) and Katherine Towsend (javelin).
