MATT Morsia had another fine day in the Southern League meeting at Luton picking up two athlete of the match awards for his wins in the long and triple jump.
There was also an athlete of the match award for rising star Debbie Martin with the U20 high jump ace seeing off all her rivals with a convincing 1.70m clearance.
She also had a personal best effort in the shot and a third in the long jump.
Morsia was again too hot for his rivals winning the long jump with 6.92m and triple jump with 14.42m with good support from Steve Lake with seconds in both B events.
Young Ellie Gooding was soaring again winning the A pole vault with a 3m clearance and gave Ashford the double by winning the B high jump with a 1.40m leap. Another Under 17 athlete making great strides Lana-Emily Foyle won the B pole vault with a fine 2.50m and she added pbs in the A javelin with 18.02m and A discus with 17.14m.
Rachel and Laura Hanagan enjoyed wins in a triple jump double for the club Rachel taking the A event with 11.22m and younger sister Laura recording 11.04m in the B event.
Laura also picked up vital points in hammer and the 100m and Rachel did creditably in the shot.
Sam Beckett had a splendid win in the 400m hurdles and battled away in the B discus and there was good support from Abbie Purkiss, Amanda Jukes, and Kim Smith who had a personal best in the B javelin.
Ashford’s 4x400m women also secured a fine victory.
It was a much tougher day for the men and apart from Morsia the only other win came in the B pole vault where Stuart Chisholm cleared 3.40m for victory but there was good support in the A vault from Luke Williams who made 3.70m but had to settle for second place.
Veteran Jon Ward had two fine seconds in the A shot and discus as well as a third in the hammer and there were personal bests in the B discus and B hammer for M50 vet Iain Presnell who also competed in the B javelin.
Despite the sterling efforts of sprinter Gary Carr, Matt Hogben, Dylan Jones and Pete Davey Ashford had to settle for fourth place in the meeting which was curtailed by an injury to an athlete on the track meaning just 47 of the 72 events were completed.
