Rising star Jackson Smith claims second spot in 10k
A squad of 53 Scarborough Athletic Club members competed in the McCain Yorkshire Coast 10k race last Sunday.
The overall winner was 19-year-old Harry Butterworth who now competes for Cardiff Metropolitan University at mostly top-class Triathlon Events, at which his running leg can be his best discipline and enabled him to a decisive win in very windy weather as the youngest of the six previous overall winners.
Seventeen-year-old Jackson Smith finished in second overall which was the joint overall best result for the club since Daniel Agustus chased home Ricky Stevenson – the all-time Course Record Holder in 2010.
Rhona Marshall continues to own this event after finishing first female for a fifth time and second consecutive year.
The club achieved many top Age Group Results. Jackson Smith first Under-18, Rhona Marshall’s first Over-40, Daniel Bateson second Over-40, Glynn Hewitt second Over-50, Neil Scruton first Over-75 (of nine others), and Press Officer Mick Thompson who competed for the first time since 2011 when he was first Over-70 was second Over-80 this time.
Nine club members acted as Race Pacemakers as follows; Paul Lawton 45 minutes, Anthony Gough 50 minutes,
Chris Bourne 55 minutes, Lisa Baker 60 minutes, Caroline 65 minutes, Adie Atkinson 70 minutes
