HARBOROUGH Athletics Club have reaped their reward for huge success achieved in 2009 across the varied disciplines of track and field, road and cross country.
Their efforts have been reflected through the final, end-of-year national rankings system, with a number of club athletes featuring.
Most notable among these, and typifying their performances from the year, were Jill Roginski, Andy Wilkinson, Sea
n Fenwick, Karen Brooks and Jenny Jones.
Roginski was placed ninth in the female 'Vet 50' rankings for the discus, with her throw of 21.77 metres from the meeting at Nuneaton on June 7.
Wilkinson was also classified ninth in the male Vet 45 standings for the pole vault with his county title-winning mark of 3.20m.
Fenwick concluded a terrific year with 11th place in the male Vet 35 five-mile category - as yielded by his mark of 25mins 41secs from the Wolverton road race of November 28.
Jones, an ever-willing member of Harborough's veterans track and field team, also reaped deserved reward for her endeavours with 12th in the female Vet 60 standings for the 100m.
But arguably the most pleasing name for the club to see must be Brooks. Having suffered significantly with injury through the early part of the year, she displayed her usual resolute nature in fighting back to fitness, and placed 12th and 14th in the 1500m and 3000m respectively for the female Vet 50 rankings.
Meanwhile Lazloe Boden first year with Harborough AC saw him recorded inside the top 30 for both ten miles and the marathon in the male Vet 45 standings.
