Lancashire Constabulary Sports & Social Club - PSUK Track and Field Championships - Blackpool 2007

The 2007 event was a tremendous success with attendance up by 30 athletes on 2006. 154 athletes and 45 tug of war competitors attended the Stanley Park Stadium on the day as well as a 40 strong team of helpers and track and field officials.

The fine, dry and warm sunny weather put icing on the cake with not a spot of rain all day despite rumours that there was torrential rain in Preston only 20 miles away!

The Metropolitan Police attended the event with a 30 strong team scooping 8 gold, 8 silver and 10 bronze medals. However, Strathclyde went for Gold scooping 10 gold medals - 15 in total. West Midlands were third in the medal table taking 12 in total.

Top individual medal scorers were Christopher Carson (Fife) who won four gold medals and Sharon Woolrich (Hampshire) who won four silver medals.

Retired Lancashire Constabulary athlete, and 15 times champion PAA javelin thrower, Ken Taylor was in attendance at the championships officiating in the throwing events.

Lancashire's John Wiggans badly tore his Achilles in his last jump in the long jump event. Despite winning a bronze medal he later attended hospital where surgery had to be carried out.

Assistant Chief Constable Wendy Walker and Chief Inspector Martin Leveridge attended the event and Ms Walker presented the majority of medals and trophies to the athletes.

A post event dinner was held at the De Vere Hotel followed by after dinner guest speaker, 800m British athlete, football coach and sports journalist Peter Keeling. This was concluded with dancing and music entertainment through until 1am.

Event coordinator PC Steven Broadbent said, "Looking back over the last 12 months I thoroughly enjoyed organising the event. I must thank my team of dedicated helpers from the Athletics Section as well as the team of track and field officials who gave up their time to attend on the day and make this event possible".
