Radus sisters in impressive form

Lia Radus, 14, reinforced her status as one of the country’s brightest young middle-distance stars with two impressive victories in the space of four days. Blackheath & Bromley athlete Radus first won the British Milers Club women's 800m event in Eltham in a new PB of 2:18.96. She followed this up by winning the South of England U15 Championship, recording 4:47.40 for a 3s winning margin. Meanwhile her younger sister Maayan, 12, returned to competition at the Bushey Park parkrun, clocking  20:27 for a 33s improvement on her previous best.

 “I am very happy with my 800m PB as I had been trying to break 2:20 for some time,” Radus commented. “The South of England 1500m was a very tactical race, run in windy conditions. It was obvious from early on that there was no chance of a PB so I concentrated on the tactical aspect and winning the race”.

 Eden Davis, 17, gained victories in the 100m and 200m and third place in the 400m in the Southern Athletics League at Bromley. His times in windy conditions were 11.33, 22.22 and 52.94.

Nachshen, Wolfenden and Bongart edging higher on the national lists

Shaftesbury Barnet Harrier Gilad Nachshen, 12, rose to third in the UK U13 800m rankings with a 2:14.0 victory in the Eastern Young Athletes League at Hendon. He also won the 200m event in 27.9 at the same meeting. Nachshen returned to 800m racing three days later in the Watford Open Graded Meeting, again improving his time to 2:13.69. Now further inspired by the Olympic victory of his hero David Rudisha, Nachshen is continuing his training on holiday with dawn runs on Netanya beach.

Shaftesbury Barnet teammate Matti Harris, 13, cut his best to 2:20.05 at the same Watford Open Graded Meeting.

2013 Maccabia silver medallist James Bongart, 20, improved his javelin PB to 58.34m in the British Athletics League Premiership at Hendon, moving to fourth on the UK U23 list.

Sale Harrier Lucy Wolfenden, 14, edged her pole vault best up to 2.80m when placing fourth in the U15 Northern Athletics Championships at Middlesbrough.

Radus, Bloom, Davis and Nachshen all shine

Contesting her first ever 3000m race, Lia Radus, 14, jumped straight to second in the UK U15 rankings. Radus recorded 10:07.32 in the Watford Open Graded Meeting, in probably her most impressive result to date. At the same meeting, Biny Bloom, 13, improved his 1500m time by eight seconds to 4:43.20.

Eden Davis, 17, reduced his 100m PB to 10.74 in the English Senior Championships at Bedford. Herts Phoenix athlete Davis did not progress to the final, in which Olympic bobsledder Joel Fearon became the third fastest ever GB sprinter in 9.96.

Gilad Nachshen lined up against several of the country's fastest U13 800m runners in the Derek Crookes Southern Inter County Match at Kingston. Nachshen, 12, finished fourth in 2:15.85, as Jaden Kennedy increased his lead at the top of the UK standings with 2:09.00.
