A record that has stood for more than 40 years has been kicked from the record books by a team of young athletes.
The previous 4x100m best at Stevenage & North Herts Athletics Club was 43.2 seconds, set in 1982.
The current senior sprint coach, Paul Keeble, was in that squad and he has now helped the quartet of Nile Odejimi Riley, Jamie Joseph, Ed Laws and Jacob Kinchin-Smith to clock 43.0.
The record-breaking run came at the second Southern Athletics League fixture of the season at the club's home base at Ridlins.
And it wasn't just in the relay where the home squad shone.
An age group record that had stood for 13 years was also wiped from the books, Esme Searle breaking the 1500m steeplechase best in the U17s with a time of 5:36.0.
There were also a string of wins for the men with Ed Laws (400m hurdles), Nile Odejimi-Riley (triple jump) and Bobby Pitman (discus).
Pitman also won the B final in the pole vault B while Jamie Joseph (200m), Dylan Baines (long jump) and Kinchin Smith (triple jump) also taking top honours.
The women’s team saw A & B wins in a number of events.
Shannon Rapacchi was victorious in the long jump, triple jump, discus and pole vault while Libby Taylor ad wins in the shot, discus and hammer.
Searle was back to take a triple jump win with Emily Rapley (long jump), Louise Hampton (shot), Loren Ragoobar (hammer) and Sandra Reed (100m hurdles) also successful.
That was another to leave SNHAC tied for second with Herts Phoenix, eight points behind round winners London Heathside.
The victory for Laws in the hurdles was enough to see him advance to the British Athletics Championships.
The 20-year-old from Ickleford will head to Manchester this weekend, with the event this year also doubling as the Olympic trials.
Laws, who has been with SNHAC since he was nine years old, has focused on the longer hurdles event from 2019 and since then has had a regular top 20 place for his age category in the country.
Edward has raced before at the Manchester stadium, representing Hitchin Boys’ School twice at the English Schools Championships.
One North Herts Road Runners had a dream debut on the European stage.
Representing GB in the 30-34 age group, Sophie Thrussell took a bronze medal at the European Aquathlon Championships in Coimbra, Portugal.
She completed the 1,000m swim in 15:53 and the 5km run in 19:49, with an efficient 1:56 transition helping her to an overall time of 37:38, three seconds ahead of an Irish competitor.
She said: "It was quite eventful, with the planned format changing the night before from run-swim-run to swim-run due to cooler water temperatures than anticipated.
"That didn’t stop my plans for a non-wetsuit swim.
"I was really happy with my performance, but it wasn’t until I checked the results that I knew I had made it to the podium.
"Finishing third in my age group at the European Championships is an absolute dream for a debut."
