Gilad Nachshen, 14, jumped straight to the top of the U15
indoor national rankings by recording 55.86 for 400m in the Lee Valley New Year
Open. The Shaftesbury Barnet Harrier followed this by taking the South of
England U15 800m indoor championship in 2:15.03. "The 800 was a tactical
race rather than a time trial", Nachshen said, "and altogether it has
been a really good start to the year".
Lia Radus, 16, set an 800m personal best of 2:18.70 at the
Lee Valley New Year Open and placed second in the Middlesex U20 cross country
Championships. She commented, “I was very happy with my solid start to the season
in the 800. I don't enjoy cross-country so much, and could perhaps have performed
slightly better in the Middlesex race, but I was mentally tired from my GCSE
preparations". Younger sister Maayan, 13, recorded 2:31.83 for the New
Year’s Day 800m and placed fifth in the Middlesex U15 Cross Country despite
illness earlier in the week.
London Heathside athlete Jack Davis-Black also placed fifth
in the Middlesex U15 boys Cross Country championship, while Bini Bloom, 14,
produced an excellent time of 18:18 in the St Albans parkrun.
