Lia Radus, 15, maintained her excellent run of form by
placing a close second in the England Athletics Under 17 1500m Championships at
Bedford. Her time of 4:33.34 cut a further five seconds from the personal best
that she had set just one week previously. Radus now stands 13th in the UK U17
rankings, while still due to remain in the age group for a further year. Radus
reported, "The running conditions were fairly good although a little too
hot for my liking. I sat behind Kiara Frizelle, the eventual winner, throughout
the race in the hope that I would be able to sprint past her. She went off
really fast and we opened up an 11 second gap ahead of the third placer.
I was unable to sprint for as long as usual because I have had a hip niggle for
several days, which was frustrating. But overall, considering that I
started the season quite badly, I'm delighted to be ending it so well."
Roger Bruck, 78, brought his season to a satisfying conclusion
by successfully defending his 100m, 200m, high jump and long jump titles at the
Southern Counties Veterans Championships at Kingston. Bruck retains his top
position in the UK V75 annual high jump rankings, stands second in the long
jump and has top 10 places for both sprints.
Competing for Highgate AC one day before turning 17, Idan Gal-Shohet
gained a long jump victory and triple jump second place in the Southern League at
Parliament Hill. Gal-Shohet's triple jump mark of 12.44m was a personal best.
Rachel Ayrton, 18, improved her 400m PB to 65.64 at the
latest Watford Open Graded Meeting.
