ABINGDON made it three promotions in a row when winning Division 3 of the Midland League.

Another solid performance saw the club triumph in the final meet at Sutton Coldfield to secure their place in Division 2 for next year.

Abingdon’s athletes set a number of personal bests, as well as winning their respective events, with Daniel Wilson (1,500m B), Mark Juffkins (400mH) and Luke Chown (pole vault B) victorious.

The women’s team fared even better, with Rachel Baust (200m B), Lottie Siddle (400m B), Sarah Lackman (3,000m A), Claire Fabes (400mH A), Carine Muir (pole vault A), Athena Crown (pole vault B), Stef Bazylkiewicz (triple jump B) and Fatima Jammeh Kinteh (shot put A) all triumphing.

Their 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams were also victorious.

l Paul Fernandez continued his Hooky 6 rivalry with Woodstock Harrier James Bolton.

The Abingdon runner was beaten by his fellow veteran 40 athlete by 34 and 33 seconds in 2015 and 2016.

But this year Fernandez pipped Bolton by just two seconds as they both finished behind race winner John Parker, of Cheltenham & County Harriers.
