A slightly depleted Chorley AC team competed in round 2 of the Mid Lancs Track and Field series in a cold and windy Lancaster. The lack of numbers was made up by great quality, exemplified by many great results and PBs.
New sprinting protégé Bolu Olufon won his 200m race and came 7th in the 100m. V50 John Wright ran well to take 6th and 4th in the 100m and 200m respectively. Rick Cordwell took a 3rd in his 200m race and 4th in Triple Jump. Adam Sciacca won his first long jump, as well as taking 7th in the 800m, closely followed by Joe Ellison in 8th. Adam’s brother Ryan took 2nd in the 400m and 800m. U13 Ben Green missed his favoured 100m, so bravely ran the longer 200m taking 8th. He also jumped well in the high and long jumps with 17th and 9th places earned.
