Maayan Radus established herself as one of the country's top
young runners in her first ever track race over 3000m. Fresh from celebrating
her 13th birthday the previous day, Radus completed the distance in 10:32.74 at
the Watford Open Graded Meeting. This raised her to sixth on the UK U15 list.
"As it was my first race over the distance I decided
not to go off too fast," Radus said. "Then I gradually increased the
pace as I grew more confident. I am now looking forward to tackling the
distance again this weekend at the South of England Championships at Crystal
Palace."
Brighton & Hove AC’s Adam Firsht, 14, improved his 800m
time to 2:06.86 at a paced British Milers Club event at Brighton. Firsht will race
the same event at the Independent Schools Association National Finals in
Birmingham this month, having won the ISA Southern Region title in May.
Ellie Edwards, 20, gained a sprint double with victories
over 100m and 200m in the Warrington Open. Her times of 12.4 and 25.6 were very
close to her personal bests. Edwards commented, "My season is going well
and I am running faster than at this stage last year. It augurs well for next
month’s Maccabiah, where I am running the senior 100m and 200m." Edwards
has been chosen as GB Maccabiah Track & Field captain.
Richard Goodman, 24, placed third in the 5000m at the
British Athletics League Premiership match at Lee Valley. His time of 14:30.16
was his fastest for several years.

placing fourth in a Southern League Division 1 match at Harrow.
