And it looks like the summer is over



Rain, cold and blustery wind damped down performances at the Youth Development League National Final at Birmingham. Sophie Dowson, representing Blackheath & Bromley, needed a clearance of just 3.40m to win the U20 pole vault. Lia Radus, competing for Shaftesbury Barnet, placed second in both the U17 1500m and 3000m, hampered by the mysterious disappearance of her spiked running shoes. Her teammate Emma Taylor, 16, recorded her second best ever javelin throw of 31.81m.
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.
