Stone, Nachshen and Bloom win Middlesex road relay medals



David Stone set his Shaftesbury Barnet team on their way towards gold medals in the Middlesex Under 17 3x3km relay championships at Hayes. His opening leg of 9:16 was 15 seconds faster than any other competitor on the day, and his teammates never relinquished the lead that he set. In the Under 15 event, Gilad Nachshen (10:16, 3rd fastest leg of the race), and Bini Bloom (10:42, 6th fastest) helped Shaftesbury secure silver medals, competing against ten other club teams.
Sisters Jessica and Rebecca Hurley joined forces to form the Shaftesbury Barnet team for the U20 1500m steeplechase at the Youth Development League National Final in Birmingham. Jessica, 17 at the time, placed fifth in 5:51.72, less than a second outside her personal best. Rebecca, 19, recorded 6:35.70 in what was her first Shaftesbury race of the season and first steeplechase ever.
