A good results for Sean Scott who, after coming out of the water in 57th, managed the 3rd fastest bike split and 4th fastest run to finish 6th overall. Also congratulations to Liz Halliday finishing 1st in her age group! 

I also understand that there was another Phoenix member racing but unfortunately the results do not show which club the athletes race for. If you know who this person was, please email brightonphoenixmedia@gmail.com and I will update the page.

A great day out for John Tindell who won group D finishing in 01:02:18 taking 05m28s off his previous time! Also a good day for the club as the riders managed to get 5th Club! Unfortunately Jon Pike's chain came off twice during the event causing him to stop twice. Steve Kane of Brighton Excelsior CC won the event in 55m08s

Some fantastic competing was seen at the Phoenix Open Track Meeting at Withdean Stadium, May 8th. Athletes of all ages competed in events from 100 metres, 800 metres, 1500 metres, 3 km and steeplechase runs to standing long jump and long jump.

Phoenix was out in force with record numbers of runners in the junior races.
In the closed 100m Sophia Warner narrowly missed the qualifying time for the World Para Athletics Championships with what was still a great run.
In the very competitive 800 metre BMCA race Matt Favers showed great ability to accelerate at pace in the last 50 metres to win.

Yet further success, in the form of personal bests, was seen for Billy White in the A race and Spencer Thomas looking good to win the B. And there was yet another outstanding front run by Almi Nerurkar in the under 13 girls 800 metres.

Another weekend, another marathon! Once again, the runners of VLM were blessed with perfect weather to tackle the 26.2 mile course and with Mo Farah pacing, the atmosphere would have been electric. Some great running from the Phoenix members with four finishing within three hours.

Again, please contact me (ritchiemoult@hotmial.com) if I have missed you off the list.

Beautiful weather and a great turnout from the club both in terms of runners and marshals - lead bikes, course marshals, start/ finish marshals. well done everyone.

If you ran and dont appear below its probably because you ran under another name! - let us know who you were on the day...

Lance Bellers and Paul Lawrence both recorded pbs. Lance reported back:

It went really well, we planned to run the first five miles together and it worked out perfectly, we ran 6:40s and kept it nicely under control, resisted anything silly early doors. Paul was happy to carry on so we did another couple, past seven mile marker but gradually I started to feel it so told him to push on which he did but we both had a great platform to go from by that point.

Weather wasn't great, very cold and wet with some wind on exposed bits but it wasn't the all-out onslaught I was dreading so could have been a lot worse. I think on a calm day though it would be very quick, worth bearing in mind. The start was a bit weird, had time to reset my watch before even crossing the actual timer line but apart from that was well run, lots of marshals and free cuppa at the end.

Full results and news of other phoenix athletes

Shock, horror. 16 men turned up to run the senior race!. Was it the fine weather and firm going that attracted such numbers?. Like heck it was. It was cold, blustery, wet and like a swamp underfoot. Still, mustn't complain – there were some great performances leaving us well positioned in a good few categories.

U13 Girls
The star team this year. Winners on the day and consolidated as gold medal team overall. Congratulations to Naomi Fonteyn 2nd, Almi Nerurkar 4th, Chloe Watson 6th, Charlotte Matthews 8th and Izzie Whitelegg 16th.

U15 Girls
No representation!

U17/U20/Sen/Vet women
Second on the day and second overall by just 5pts, the women are well poised for promotion to division 1. They need an optimum turnout for the final race. Vets are a modest 12th. Erica Martin 19th, Megan Bradford 22nd and Paule Kremer 38th were scorers, ably backe up by Hildi Mitchell 61st and Liz Halliday 64th.

U13 boys
Well done to Jack Etherton for coming a handy 24th. With no backup that meant a lowly 14th place and the team are languishing in 10th spot overall.

U15 boys
A fine win for this well-organised team. Overall they are 4th but within easy reach of bronze. Archie Davis 2nd, Matt Berridge 8th, Oliver Johnson 11th, Harry Swindells 20th, Chris McGarry 21st, Will Russell 22nd. Great teamwork guys.

U17 men
Another terrific team effort and a wonderful front-running win by Robbie Fitzgibbon resulted in second position on the day and  first place overall by just 10 points. All to play for guys. Robbie Fitzgibbon 1st, Jake Alger 5th, Sam Kitchen 9th.

U20/sen/vet men
Too many to mention everyone but turnout and performances were uniformly impressive. Ben Tickner 3rd, Daryll Hards 6th, Tom Hopkinson 8th, Jose Luceron 16th,  Bruce Warren (Vet 50) 30th and Robin Fitzgibbon (V40) 43rd. scored for the senior A team. Bruce, Robin and Adam Tribe 46th scored for the vet A team. There were A, B, C, and D teams in both categories. Both teams were second on the day with the seniors comfortably in silver position overall and the vets needing to make up just 6 points to move in to silver spot at the final event. In fact the deficit of 23 points for gold is not impossible.

Full results.

As the name suggests, this is not an easy race.There were 236 finishers.

The very much in form Phoenix vet Donald Maclellan was our only representative and he took the race by storm, winning in a time of 1:00:26.

To give an idea of the quality of this performance, the second placed runner was 46 seconds adrift and the third almost two minutes behind.

Great run Donald.

Great turnout for the club and some fine performances in near perfect racing conditions. Donald for example took well over a minute of his previous pb. First things first though. It's incredibly difficult to locate results when you terrible people are registering under all sorts of club names. BRIGHTON PHOENIX is correct for all events, running or multisport. We had Brighton Phoenix Tri, Phoenix AC and no club name at all. Important because this race was the Sussex 10k championship. If I haven't spotted you (or your pb), please email.

There were 2729 finishers. The men's race was won by Paul Martelletti in 30 minutes dead and the women's race by Caryl Jones in 32:31 – a new course record.

Sussex team and individual placings will be added as soon as available.

The positions are gun and the times chip.
