Charlotte Pabari breaks own county javelin record on way to two golds in Hampshire Track & Field Championships in Portsmouth

Charlotte Pabari (under-13 girls) and Logan Cookson (under-15 boys) both collected two golds as part of the club’s 11 winners medals.

Pabari won the javelin and shot events, while Cookson triumphed in the long jump and triple jump in a weekend of contrasting weather – sunshine on the Saturday and downpours 24 hours later.

Zak Williams won a gold, a silver and two bronze, while club members won 17 silver and 23 bronze in all.

City of Portsmouth fielded a huge entry of athletes from the under-13s right through to seniors and masters athletes.

Many of the younger athletes were taking part for the first time in an event of such a scale, while others had been competing in the championship for over 10 years.

Pabari broke her own Championship best performance from 2021 in winning the under-13 girls javelin in 41.58m. In comparison, runner-up Victoria Pinel threw just 18.90m!

It was a closer story in the under-13 shot, where Pabari won with 10.23m, compared to runner-up Darcy Thorne-Henderson’s 8:39m.

In the sprints, Lily Baggott (100m, under-20 women) and Sadie Blake (200m, under-20 women) were both faster than their respective winners in 2021, when the tournament was held in Portsmouth last August.

Meanwhile, Williams won the under-17 boys 400m Hurdles, and is now ranked third in the UK.

Callum Taylor (under-20 men’s javelin) produced a throw (67.69m) to return himself to the top of the UK rankings. He also won selection for the Great Britain U20 team in the Loughborough international meeting this weekend.

Cookson, in his first ever triple jump competition, produced a performance of huge potential in winning the under-15 event.

In addition to those CoP athletes performing in Portsmouth, club member Chloe Ramsey completed the sprint double at the equivalent Sussex championships.
