Early season successes by young athletes

Young sprinters Ellie Edwards, 19, and Eden Davis, 16, have each set indoor PBs that raise them high in their age group national rankings. Edwards, representing Birmingham University in an Inter Varsity Meeting, posted times of 7.89 for 60m and 26.28 for 200m. Herts Phoenix athlete Davis recorded 22.71 for third place in the 200m London Under 20 Games, losing out to older rivals. Both meetings took place at Lee Valley.

Maayan Radus, competing for City of London Girls School, was narrowly beaten into second place in the Year 7 London Schools Cross Country Championships at Wormwood Scrubs. Sophie Peters was top scorer for Harrow AC in placing fourth in the Under 15 race in the North West London Young Athletes’ League at Harrow.
