The near perfect weather conditions at the Crawley AC open may well have contributed to one of longest ever javelin throws by an under-13 British athlete. Brighton’s Dulcie Yelling first broke the county javelin record in 2018, when she threw 37.64m. At K2 on Easter Saturday, she improved this mark by almost two metres launching her spear […]
