StatPack Mark 25 - Introduction
lists now updated to 30th September 2025
​
Introduction
​
Hello and a warm welcome to StatPack Mark 25 which updates the last (September 2024) version by including marks achieved during the 2025 indoor and outdoor seasons.
​Simon Kilminster compiled the first edition of StatPack 30 years ago.
Although details from earlier years occasionally surface, almost all the changes in this edition come from performances from the current bunch of talented athletes who continue to rewrite these rankings almost as soon as they can be produced!!
​
​​​Freddie Rowe was the class act in the middle distance events setting two new club records in the Under 17 Men’s age group which were also new bests in the Under 20 men’s age group. His performances also ranked highly in the senior lists – with his 800m time of 1m 51.05s (fourth all time senior) and his 1500m record of 3m 44.62s (third senior all time). His 1500m time is also the second fastest ever by a UK Under 17.
​
Stephanie Okoro also broke two club records opening 2025 in January with an indoor 400m time of 54.36s to break the club Under 20 Women's 400m best, and in July she bettered her own club Under 20 and senior 400m hurdles bests with her 57.98s clocking.
Further records fell to Richard Akinyebo who returned to the club this summer and broke both the club senior sprint times with his outstanding 10.15s for 100m and 20.62s for 200m.
​
Ayla Baker had a fantastic start to the summer season, breaking the club Under 15 javelin record in her first competition in April and improving it again in her next four competitions to 42.55m, an almost 12m improvement in one month, also improving the Under 17 javelin best on three occasions.
​
Another throws record to fall was the Under 17 Women’s hammer record which Lila Chapelhow improved to 40.62m, to add to her Under 15 hammer record. An Under 17 Women’s record also fell in the 1500m steeplechase where Poppy Vines twice improved the club best and ended the season with a new record of 5m 25.67s.
​
​As more club athletes move through into the masters ranks those lists are being rewritten with Chloe Williams and Morgan Campbell setting new W35 marks, and Lauren Reed and Nina Brennan W40 marks, James Connor M40 bests, Jason Lendon M50 steeplechase marks and Mark Bishop setting new M55 records.
​
This is the final full StatPack to feature the current young athletes’ age group records based on the “odd” year categories – Under 13-Under 15-Under 17 – which are being replaced on 1st April 2026 by “even” age groups (Under 14-Under 16-Under 18).
The 2026 StatPack will therefore need to reflect these changes, and will do their best to capture historic performances within these age categories. As there will be different specifications in the hurdles and throws events many event lists will only start from next year.
As noted previously, the rankings include only performances for athletes who met the age definitions now in use – this means that a few long-standing under 17 boys’ marks no longer qualified as the athlete in question was too old under the current age groups. This happened because before 1964 an athlete’s age group was calculated as at 1 April prior to the start of the track season not as at 31 August, and also the statisticians used a 31 December cut off until 1970. I have only included any changes that I have been able to find but it may mean that any marks for that athlete the previous season have been missed.
As usual, some observations on the contents, as follows.
-
Any new listings since StatPack 2019 are all printed in "BOLD" to make them more noticeable — the new additions in 2022 are highlighted in BLUE while those from 2021 are high in RED
-
Where an athlete’s best hand time is marginally better than their best electronic times I’ve included the electronic times as well where these are within the rankings limit.
-
As with recent StatPacks I’ve listed wind-assisted marks separately. Debate will continue about whether some marks were or weren’t wind assisted – but where there is firm or good evidence of wind assistance (e.g. if the annual national rankings show it) I have listed marks as windy. Some other marks have come to light that are still unverified and I have included these here on that basis.
-
Javelin Senior/Junior Men’s marks have been included from 1986 only, when the new specification (800g) came in. For the U15 and U17 Women the new specification (500g) javelin came into effect on 1 April 2014. (The specification for U15 to U17 Women was previously 600g. For seniors the specification changed in 1999 and old pre-1999 specification rankings have been omitted)
-
Shot & Hammer: For the U15 and U17 Women the new specification (3kg) came into effect on 1 April 2014.
I have continued to use the following conversion criteria for historic marks.
Ø 100 Yards ‑ 100 Metres 100 Yards time plus 1.0 second
Ø 220 Yards ‑ 200 Metres 220 Yards time less 0.1 seconds
Ø 440 Yards/440 Yards Hurdles ‑ 400 Metres 440 Yards time less 0.3 seconds
Ø 880 Yards ‑ 800 Metres 880 Yards time less 0.7 seconds
Ø 120 Yards Hurdles ‑ 110 Metre Hurdles Same as they are the same distance
