LEAP - July 2008 - Montell's moment

Well, for 27 years Kathy Cook's 100m record has stood firm - until today! What a moment - Montell Douglas literally flew down the track in the 100m final and the rest is history - a supreme effort.

As for emotion, I reckon the pictures do the talking......














In the mens event, Ryan Scott is a picture of determination - winning the A final






A nice study of sprinting harmony with Alex Nelson (232) winning his heat






Leon Baptiste, also a heat winner






The mens 110m hurdles is always fast furious action. On their way to heat victories are:

Allan Scott






Karl Jennings (98)






William Sharman






and B final winner Callum Priestley (I love this image!!).






Meanwhile in the Womens event, Sarah Claxton was unbeatable, first two pics from the heat and then one from the final where she close to the British record in a time of12.81!










Dramatic mid leap images from the Womens Long Jump where Amy Harris (133) claimed victory from Amy Woodman.....










In the mens event, here is the winning leap from JJ Jegede....






Closely followed by Okie Giwa-Agbomeirele in 2nd place






The mens discuss was a close affair with just 45cm separating the first three. Here are some moments frozen in time....

Emeka Udechuku finishing in 2nd place






Abdul Buhari (3rd)






Brett Morse (6th)
