Juniors – George Robertson
Junior nomination for Athlete of the Month is George Robertson. George has really matured in his approach and attitude to his training and personal performance. With a notable difference in his work ethic at the Monday training sessions, he’s proving to be a good role model for his fellow runners.
His performances have reflected this improvement and in September he achieved two personal bests at MH junior parkrun finishing in 8.34 and 8.07 on consecutive weeks.
Seniors – Jacquie Hanmer
The club has had some great performances in the Autumn marathon season but none more so than Jacquie Hanmer, who ran an outstanding personal best of 3.26.39 at the London Marathon to finish 22nd overall in her age group and smash the ‘good for age’ time by over 30 minutes.
This is following two other sterling performances in finishing 3rd female at the Leicester 10k in 43:11; and completing the Chester Half in 1:33.51, which ranked Jacquie an impressive 7th in her age category at half marathon distance nationally.
