At the Devon County Championships held at Exeter over the bank holiday weekend, the club's athletes took an impressive haul of 23 medals.

Anna McClement had a good weekend, taking third place in the javelin as well as reaching both the 100m and 200m finals, but her best performance came in the shot, where she set a new club record of 7.94m. The old record had stood since 1994.

The action continued last weekend at a very sunny Tavistock in the Devon open.

In the U13 boys Robert Stockdale continued his recent success, winning both the 100m and the 150m, setting new personal bests and he also set a new best of 2.36.7s in the 800m.

Aidan Porter-Holborn won the high jump with a leap of 1.25m and also beat teammate Sam Tutty into second place in the 75 hurdles.

In the U15 boys, Nathan Brown had a much-needed return to form after injury, setting a new personal best in the mile of 5.09.3 and then running an excellent 300m best of 41 seconds dead.

Luke Riou had another impressing performance in the triple jump, setting a new best of 11.62, which ranks him in the top 10 in the UK. Jake Abraham ran the 100m in 12.3 and recorded a new long jump personal best of 5.35m.

The Harriers also had one senior running with Ewan Lake taking part in the 200m and 400m.
