A new specification for the 700g Javelin has been introduced from 1st April 2025. The 700g 2025-specification is effectively a new event, with shorter throws expected.
England Athletics is allowing implements of either specification to be used in 2025 competitions, without declaring in results which type was used. The Surrey County Championships will only use the new specification.
The Surrey U17 Men's rankings will show the old and new type separately. In summary:
Javelin 2025 Group will show those events where the new javelin was exclusively used
Javelin pre-2025 Group will show all other events where mixed or undeclared javelins were used
The existing Surrey County Record of 62.86m by Mark Francis in 1994 is now shown in the Records tabulation as being for Javelin 700g (pre-2005 spec). We do not anticipate showing a record for Javelin 700g (2025 spec) until later this year. However, the All-time rankings for Javelin (2025 spec) will be updated as performances are added to the 2025 Rankings.
