Braunston’s Sam Cullinane threw a lifetime best to secure victory in the a Senior Women’s League meeting at Birmingham on Saturday.

Cullinane broke her personal best with a throw of 46.15m to cement her place as Birchfield Harriers’ number one javelin thrower.

Cullinane, who is coached by ex-Olympic thrower Mick Hill, has recently won both midlands and Northants under-23 javelin titles, while also finishing seventh in a senior women’s international at Loughborough.

The rain finally gave way for last Saturday’s Park Run and a Northampton Road Runners trio completed the morning run.

Radoslav Nic finished third in 19.25, ahead of ninth-placed Peter Moor (20.14) and John Fleming (20.40).

Northampton Road Runner Steve Prior completed his second marathon in just over a month in Edinburgh.

After his late entry to London, Prior nailed Edinburgh in a pleasing 3.38.27.

More than 250 runners turned up for the Chicken Run at Brackley, braving the toasty weather and breezy winds for the 10k.

Four Northampton Road Runners took part, but special mention goes to Rosanna Andrews for finishing first again in the women’s race.

NRR’s Danson Njoka clocked a storming time of 37.13, while Penny Andrews was another to enjoy a great run in 47.44.

Richard Rose is a regular on the event circuit, finishing in exactly one hour.

A good turnout of eleven Northampton Road Runners completed round five of the East Midlands Grand Prix series at Banbury on Wednesday.

Danson Njoka finished 15th overall with an impressive time of 28.42 and Tony Letts also broke 30 minutes in 29.38.

Peter Moor’s presence at the local Park Runs is certainly paying off as he recorded an impressive 32.45.

Martin Andrews battled it out with Darren Baldwin to finish in 35.30 just ahead of Darren in 35.46.

Steve Prior continued his marathon recovery with his return race in a time of 38.59.

For the ladies, Rosanna Andrews continued to impress for the with a 31.41 fast enough to be third lady overall and again first F20.

Charlotte Yarker enjoyed a good run in 36.24 and Penny Andrews was fourth F45 in 36:28.

Jo Lee came home in 39.33 and Suzanne Baldwin in 42.48. The ladies team 
were fourth on the night overall.
