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.
