A big breakthrough in Javelin throwing this season has earned an early season fourth Under 15 Girls position for Issy Reid, who recorded a best throw of 20.03 metres last month. Following their April performances two Under 17 B.A.D.A.C. athletes have secured top six placings.

Hammer thrower Macey Dimberlaine has started 2023 in much the same vein as she finished 2022. Her seasonal opening competition resulted in a 26.78 metres effort which places her in runners-up position.

In the Under 17 Men's age category Will Brocking is in sixth place in the Long Jump Regional Ranking List with his early season competition winning leap measuring 5.44 metres.. Although the Under 11 age group performances are not recognised by the production of UK Ranking Lists three young "Gold Tops" have recorded notable performances this season. Lucy Ambrose has a 2023 Personal Best Long Jump of 3.29 metres and in the same event Rose Pell has a best clearance of 3.03 Metres. In the Vortex Throw Oliver Pike recorded a best effort measuring a splendid 24.32 metres..
