GEORGE Vaughan racked up a middle-distance double in M&M's latest Southern Men's League fixture at the weekend.

The 15-year-old ignored the heat to win the 800 in a shade more than two minutes – Josh Nice was first in the B string – and also recorded a PB in his 1500 victory.

He later ran a leg of the 4x400 as well, but was not by any means the busiest M&M.

That distinction belonged, as is often the case, to Martin Brockman. The giant decathlete won three of the six events he took part in and registered a new personal best in the shot.

Nick Slade didn't get too much rest at Norman Park, Bromley, either. He was in action five times.

Two impressive field-event performances came in the long jump. Josh Brown and Steve Lake were the winners and in each case they cleared six metres.

It was hard work, because of the heat, for those who ran 5000.

Veteran Gareth Williams and Under-20 Josh Elderfield were slower than 18 minutes in their race of just over three miles, but it says much for the younger athlete's recovery, enthusiasm and grit that he later ran the steeplechase.

With one match remaining, M&M are ninth of 16 in Division 3 South.

MEDWAY and Maidstone athletes have rarely come away empty-handed when representing Kent at the English Schools' Championships, but that was the case this year.

Annie Waghorn, M&M's only female selected for the two day meeting in Birmingham, for instance, found the pace a little too hot in the intermediate girls 300 and did not progress beyond her heat. She does have a PB of 41.05, but as a demonstration of the quality shown at the Alexander Stadium all eight finalists bettered that – six of them inside 40 seconds.

For James West it just didn't happen in the junior boys 1500. He, too, exited after a heat, while Adam Gilbert left the senior boys 800 at the same stage.

Oliver Woodham, who was throwing the javelin beyond 40 metres a month ago, could only manage 38.80 in the junior age-group, and James Alcock, the sole senior athlete from the club at the event they call "The Kid's Olympics" succumbed to a hamstring problem which has hindered him recently and withdrew after two rounds of the long jump.

Both of Alcock's efforts had, in any, case been given red flags and it was sad ending to the school career of an athlete who won bronze as an intermediate at Gateshead two years ago.

EVERY Medway & Maidstone athlete taking part in the British Veterans' Championships, in Cardiff, came way with a medal. Pride of place went to Pat Oakes, who contested five events and won something in every one - including gold for the triple jump

STEVE Julier ran his fastest 800 of the year in a Kent Vets League match at Norman Park on Friday. He also finished second in the 100 - his quickest in 2010. Penny Barber (100) and Maria Newton (DT) both set new PB's in the final match of the summer, while Bernadette Harrop clipped three seconds from her season's best 800.
