David Stone, 15, took a commanding victory in the U17 1500m
in the Eastern Young Athletes League at Watford. Always in control of the race,
he finished six seconds clear in a new PB of 4:26.8. Stone was one of several
Jewish athletes who represented Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers successfully in the
competition. Fellow JFS pupil Emma Taylor, 16, was the club "A"
string competitor in the shot, hammer and javelin, and her respective
performances of 8.96m, 24.26m and 30.55m earned her places in the national
rankings for each of those events. Personal bests were set by Joel Alexander,
15 (high jump 1.55m); Adam Cahn, 15 (800m 2:12.3); Bini Bloom, 13 (1500m
4:41.3) and Gilad Nachshen (300m 40.4). Matti Harris, 14, ran a time of 4:42.6
for a near-PB in the 1500m.
Ellie Edwards, 20, took 200m silver in the senior Greater
Manchester Championships, setting a personal best of 25.58 in spite of a strong
headwind in the home straight. Her sister Allana, 17, improved her 400m hurdles
best to 76.31 when finishing 8th in the U20 Championships.
Gilad Nachshen gained silver in the Middlesex U15 800m
Championships in 2:13.19, while Tal Pelmont, 17, placed fifth in the U20 race
in 2:13.50. Maayan Radus, 12, broke the five minute barrier for the first time
when taking bronze in the U15 1500m event in 4:58.5.
Rosalind Zeffert earned a bronze medal in the senior long
jump and fourth places in the 100m and shot put, proving that, now as a V55
athlete, she remains a talented and enthusiastic competitor.
