Another successful year for City of York Athletics Club, with athletes competing locally, national and internationally. Membership and participation remain strong. Several members qualified as assistant coaches and coaches and we also had many members taking official qualifications in track and filed judging. The club continues to hold regular training sessions at the University track and work closely with the university.
On the track, club records fell and a number of meetings were hosted by the club. Lucy Hadaway competed for GB in Long jump and Scott Lincoln also represented GB in shot putt.
YDL lower (U13/15) team won all 4 League matches and qualified for the National Final for the second consecutive year. Finished 5th in the National Final.
YDL Upper (U17/20) team won all 3 league matches and qualified for the National Final for the second consecutive year. Finished 4th in the National Final.
The Northern Senior League team qualified for the Regional Final but can't remember finishing positions etc. might be worth a quick message to Ruth.
Cross country and Road
At the Yorkshire Cross Country Championships in January the club got 8 medals in total with 4 of thee being individual ones and 4 being team ones. The highlight was Angus McMillan’s win in the senior men’s race. Onto the Northern Championships Lottie Langan gave a typically determined sprint finish to get a bronze medal in the under 17 women’s race. The club had 10 athletes earning county vests at the club inter counties championships and 18 at the English Schools Championships.
In the York 10k Road Race League. Although this league probably appeals more to Road Running Clubs than Athletic Clubs the club still should do better than placing 7[th] in the men’s team event whilst not completing a women’s team in any race. Karen Wood was 1[st] Vet 55 in the league with Chrissie Dover (vet 45) and Dave Lancaster (vet 60) taking 2[nd] place in their age groups.
The 5ks that take place each month on the York University cycle circuit were more popular amongst both seniors and juniors than in previous years.
The autumn six stage road relays showed the club in a better light as the senior men came 7[th] in the Northern event and 24[th] in the National one. The under 17 men’s team came 2[nd] in the northern relays, missing out on gold in a sprint finish.
The Northern Cross Country relays were cancelled due to storm Babet. The senior men’s team led the National Cross Country Relays for 3 legs before dropping back to an excellent 8[th] place. There were also top 30 finishes from the five junior teams from the club that took part.
The club dominated the under 15 and 17 age groups in the West Yorkshire Cros Country League with two first places and one second place in the team titles, however, the club’s members didn’t take any individual titles. The PECO cross country league in Leeds was also popular with our junior members.
Individually Katy Wood ran club records over 10 miles, 10k and at parkrun whilst Angus McMillan broke the York Parkrun course record that was once held by Jonathan Brownlee and also competed for GB in the European cross country championships finishing 4[th] GB athlete, 38[th] overall. Charlotte Mason came a very good 31[st] in the London Marathon in a club record 2 hours 43 minutes.
The club continues to be a supportive, friendly environment open to all, offering access to all disciplines of athletics and also supports officials and coaches to develop.

Hi Mike
As far as I’m concerned the accounts reflect a true and fair position at the year end and conform with the Charity Commission requirements.
