Lia Radus achieved an impressive fourth place in the England
Athletics U15 1500m Championship in Bedford. City of London Girls’ pupil Radus
recorded 4:43.56, having set a PB of 4:42.18 the previous day in the heats.
Radus reported, "The preliminary race was comfortable
and I spent most of it in a good position just behind the leaders. I was
surprised and happy to set a personal best. But in the final I spent most of
the race forced out into the second and third lanes. Then I was shoved as I
started to make a move to sprint. I am a bit disappointed because I feel that I
was in medal contention up to that point. But overall I am pleased with coming
away with a PB and a lot of experience gained from both races."
In the same Championships, Sale Harrier Lucie Wolfenden
placed 8th in the pole vault with a clearance of 2.71m.
For the second successive week, Maayan Radus, 12, improved
her parkrun personal best, recording 20:14 at Bushey Park.
Roger Bruck, 77, took four age group titles in the Southern
Counties and Veterans AC Championships at Kingston. His gold medal performances
were 17.57 for 100m, 37.09 for 200m, 1.15m in the high jump and 3.06m for the
long jump.
“I had hoped for better performances,” Bruck commented, “but
both jumping events were interrupted by wind and rain and the sprints were
run into the wind”.
Rosalind Zeffert moved into the V50 national shot put
rankings with a throw of 6.37m, competing for Shaftesbury Barnet in the London
Inter-Club Challenge at Hendon.
