The manxathletics.com forum

Welcome to the manxathletics.com forum.  Please share information and your views on the sport in the Isle of Man with others. 

The forum has been operating in its present form since April 2004 and I particularly welcome comments from new contributors, whether you live on or off the Isle of Man, if you have an interest in Manx athletics.

Many people have used the forum to give thanks to the officials or their own supporters when they have enjoyed an event. Contrustive criticism is always welcome as an additional means of communication, although it is not intended to replace formal communication between clubs and other bodies and their members.

If you are unable to find information about an event on any of the Manx websites, then the forum is the best place to ask for help from other people. Whilst you can email me at murray@manxathletics.com  and I will do my best to point you in the right direction, the people who have the answer to your question are likely to visit the forum so it is better that you ask it here. manxathletics.com is an independent site and I do not hold office within any of the five Manx clubs.

There are a few rules. Firstly, you should always use your real name as, apart from making people accountable for what they say, one of the objectives of the website is to make the sport friendly and appealing so please do not hide behind a nickname (anonymous entries will be deleted). Secondly, (it should go without saying) you must not insult or offend anyone. Thirdly, pesistent abuse of rules 1 and 2 will result in the forum being withdrawn.

Thanks for being sensible and I hope you continue to enjoy the forum and the sport.

Murray Lambden

Message:   Well done to Lauren Whelan who claimed a silver medal behind Rebecca Mersh of Sheffield in the England Athletics U20 world junior trials which were held in Bedford
yesterday afternoon.
According to the report on the UKA website
conditions were extremely windy making the recording
of fast times in the long events nigh on impossible.

She finished less than 30 seconds down on Mersh who is over three years her senior and was 49 seconds clear of Kathryn Grainger, also of Sheffield who finished third.

Lauren has only just moved up to the under 17 age group this year so should be very pleased with this very competitive performance.

Its also worth mentioning that Lauren still found the time to help her club on Thursday night at the Parish Walk signing on before travelling to Bedford on Friday.

Rebecca Mersh - Sheffield 27.33.43
Lauren Whelan - Manx Harriers 28.01.40
Kathryn Grainger - Sheffield 28.50.79
