History

[edit]

Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers was founded in 1890 and amalgamated with Barnet Ladies in autumn 1986. The club qualified to enter the British Athletics League (BAL) in Division 4 in 1976, and in the space of 4 years achieved promotion to BAL Division 1 (now the Premiership).[1]

Trecia-Kaye Smith, the 2005 World Champion in the triple jump, was a "particularly enthusiastic member" of the Barnet Harriers.[2]
