  • Berkshire Schools Track and Field Championships (U15-U19)

    Saturday 13th June 2026

    Palmer Park Stadium

    Please find the timetable below and additional information.

    There shouldn’t be any changes now – the timetable may run slightly ahead of schedule or behind depending on how things go on the day so athletes need to turn up in plenty of time so they don’t miss their event and make sure they listen to the tannoy / keep an eye on the competition. Sprints in junior and inter age groups will have heats and finals so athletes need to be prepared for staying if they are successful.

    Athletes should be arriving at least 1 hour 15minutes before their event is due to start. They should check in to their district representative in the stand and collect their vest and numbers. They should go to the start of their event at least 10minutes prior so they can be checked in / warm up. Athletes should be providing safety pins and should not be wearing club kit. Programmes will be available for purchase on the day in the box.

    If athletes come in the top 3 in their event they will be invited into the centre of the track – gazebo by the podium to receive their medal. They will also need to bring a device or parent with a device in order to complete a google form there and then. (This is the only time that they should have a device on the infield / track) This is for consideration for the team for English schools. This does not mean they get into the team but just gives us their contact details so once we have chosen the team they can be contacted.

  • SEAA U15/17 Intercounty Championships

    SEAA U15/17 Intercounty Championships

    On a very wet Sunday 14th September Berkshire fielded a strong team at the SEAA U15/17 Intercounty Championships. This is a team event so everyone’s performance counted towards the team score. Everyone competing is ranked in the top 5 in their county for their event so the standard is high.

    Despite the conditions (lane one was a small river and pole vault had to be cancelled) Team Berkshire athletes put in max effort and did us proud. The final team results were:

    U15 girls 8th

    U15 boys 2nd

    U17 girls 8th

    U17 boys 3rd

    A fantastic day we are so proud of all our Berkshire athletes! Thank you to parents for bringing them to the event, all the officials and SEAA for organising.

    Hopefully everyone has dried out!
