| Details At Gateshead Report The Commonwealth Games trials were held at Gateshead this weekend with athletes aspiring to gain selection for Delhi on August 18th. The Games will be held in October. On Saturday Adam Scarr was disappointingly 3rd with a 2.14m leap, although he has cleared the qualifying height no less than 4 times this year. Sunday proved to be a first ever Senior title for Darren St Clair as he won the 800m in a slow race but he has achieved the standard twice in recent weeks and is showing good form for the Games. Luke Fagan also finished in the medals with a 2nd spot behind Chris Clarke in the 200m but his time was well short of the qualifying time of 20.6s which is what he needs to achieve in the first instance. ---------------------------------------------- Men 800m 1st DARREN ST CLAIR 1m 49.58s 200m 2nd LUKE FAGAN 21.36s High Jump 3rd ADAM SCARR 2.14m Javelin 4th BONNE BUWEMBO 62.31m 100m 5th GAVIN EASTMAN 10.70s 100m 7th MARK HANSON 10.74s (ht 10.72w) Triple Jump 8th ELLIOT O'NEILL 14.28m 400m Hurdles ht BEN SUMNER 52.93s 400m Hurdles ht JONNY LODOWSKI 54.99s Women Discus 5th MEL HARRISON 38.16m 100m 6th TUNRAYO NUBI 12.02s (ht 12.01s) 200m TUNRAYO NUBI Triple Jump 12th DEE BAKRE 11.68m (w) (11.67) |
