Gilad Nachshen shines over 800m

Shaftesbury Barnet Harrier Gilad Nachshen, 12, has risen to sixth in the UK U13 800m rankings, recording 2:16.34 at the recent Watford Open Graded Meeting. Nachshen, who has only recently resumed running after some months off with a calf injury, will represent Hertfordshire in the forthcoming Inter-counties Championships.
Three further young athletes have set new PBs that place them in their age-group national standings: Rebecca Hurley, 18, recorded 68.36 for 400m hurdles at Lee Valley; Lia Radus, 14, posted an 800m time of 2:20.6 in a British Milers Club race at Eltham; and Joel Alexander, 14, cleared 1.50m in the high jump in the Youth Development League at Hornchurch.

Bini Bloom, 13, improved his 800m time to 2:24.72, also at the Watford Open Graded Meeting.
