Lia Radus shines in the British Athletics One Mile Road Championships

Lia Radus,14, narrowly missed out on a place on the rostrum at the Junior British Athletics One Mile Road Championships, held as part of the Westminster Mile series of races. Radus placed fourth in the U15 Girls’ event in 5:13, the same time as bronze medallist Lucy Olsen. David Stone, 14, placed 23rd in the U15 Boys’ race in 4:52, while Matti Harris, 13, recorded 5:27 to finish high up in the non-championship field. In all cases, actual “chip” times, adjusted for the time taken to pass the start line, were one or two seconds faster.

Highgate Harrier Hannah Viner, 20, trimmed her 10,000m PB by 37s to 36:03.87 at the Highgate Harriers Night of 10,000m PBs, which incorporated the Olympic Trials. The performance raised Viner to 7th in the UK U23 rankings.

For the second year running, the three younger members of the Hurley family each won medals in the Hertfordshire Championships at Watford. Rebecca,17, won silver in the U20 400m hurdles in a personal best of 68.99. Greg, 15, recorded 57.80 for silver in the boys’ U17 400m, while Jessica. 16, took bronze in the girls’ U17 400m in 59.98. Eden Davis, 17, gained silver in the U20 100m, recording 11.16. Davis followed this achievement some days later with triple victories over 100m, 200m and 400m in the Southern Athletics League at Erith.


Lucie Wolfenden, 14, cleared 2.60m for silver in the U15 pole vault at the Greater Manchester & Cheshire County Championships at Macclesfield.
