The last UKYDL match of the season took place at the Medway Park track in Gillingham on Sunday amidst warm, blustery but dry conditions. The composite team, ATIP, comprising athletes from Ashford AC, Thanet AC, Invicta East Kent and Paddock Wood AC, were under pressure to maintain their position in the Southern Region North-East Division 1 league.

With many athletes unavailable to compete, Team Manager, Tina Tappenden, was relying on athletes to contest events they wouldn’t normally do, as well as performing to the best of their ability in the events they normally did.

Throughout the match, points totals were close in the seven team league with nothing decided until the end of the day. The efforts of the team were rewarded with a fourth place finish, keeping ATIP in fourth place overall, much to the relief of the Team Manager and all the team and supporters.

In addition to survival, the team amassed a total of 27 personal best performances. A testament to their excellent efforts.

The team:

Under 20 Men 

Matthew Coward, Lewis Parsons, James Wilton, Tom Wilton, Cameron Amedee, Ahferom Goitom, Charlie Green, Tyler Adams, Alex Hardy, Ashley Buckham.
