SPRINGFIELD PARK HILL CLIMB RESULTS


Friday 14th October 2016 - Springfield Park

The new 2016-17 YHPSCL season started with a bang at the Springfield park Hill Climb. Just over one hundred riders from nine schools turned up in good conditions to test themselves against the infamous hill.
The racing started with the year 4 riders taking to the hill for the first time. Quite a few of them rode up the hill really well and will be ones to watch out for over the coming season and years.

Year 4 girls results
Lena from Jubilee topped the y4 girls finishing in under 40 seconds at 39.7 seconds - a great effort, and Arlo from Gayhurst topped the y4 boys at 36.36 - a storming ride from the young man who looked like he really wanted it.


Year4 boys results

The year five girls saw Grazebrook take two of the three top spots with Loelle coming 1st in 39.16 and Betty at 40.97 - sandwiched between the two was Ashleigh from Millfields on 39.77 seconds.

Year 5 girls results

The year 5 boys saw the top five riders dip below 40 seconds wit the run away winner Milton from Millfields getting below thirty in 27.16 seconds - would any of the year 6 riders beat this time? Last years winner Milo from Jubilee came 2nd with Che from Southwold finishing in third.

New Season kicks of tomorrow with the Hill Climb

*Note this  might not in fact be Springfield Park

The eighth year of the Young Hackney Primary School league will get underway tomorrow with the traditional opener - the Springfield Park Hill Climb. The short but intense effort sends out a signal to the riders that racing throughout the year will require strong cycling if they want to win the league for their team.Rising 22m over a little over 100m in length the hill gets steeper towards the top.
Will we finally see someone topple the league record set in 2010 of 24.3 seconds?
Racing starts at 1pm sharp.
