Star pole vaulter Sophie Dowson equalled her best of 3.60m
in placing fifth in the England Athletics U20 Championship at Bedford. Dowson
was beaten by just one U17 competitor, who also scaled 3.60m
The fortnightly Watford Open Graded Meetings provide
excellent opportunities for athletes to target their personal bests in
competition with runners of a similar standard. Brothers Jack and Ben Bloom
both lowered their 800m times in the latest meeting, with Jack, 14, recording
2:15.57 and Ben, 11, achieving 2:29.56. Sophie Peters, 13, improved her best to
2:41.69. Jack Bloom reduced his time
further to 2:14.22 in the Barnet Schools Championships the following day, while
Peters gained a new 1500m PB of 5:29.6 in the Youth Development League at
Reading.
Three Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers took victories in the
Eastern Young Athletes League at Peterborough. Jessica Hurley took the U17 in
42.2 while Judah Yawitch (2:21.8, PB) and Matti Harris (2:27.5, PB) took the
U13 800m A and B races respectively.
Highgate Harrier Tal Pelmont, 15, set two new personal bests
in winning the 800m (2:11.9) and placing third in the 1500m (4:39.9) in the
Southern Athletics League at Parliament Hill.
