Hannah Viner placed 10th in difficult conditions in the
South of England cross-country Championships at Brighton.
"It started pouring as soon as the gun went off and the
rain seemed to only get heavier", Viner reported. "The course consisted
of one small and two long laps, and included steep inclines both uphill and
downhill. It was very soft in some parts, gravelly in others, so it was
altogether challenging and uncomfortable. I felt strong on the first lap, tucked
in the leading group. I struggled a bit on the long hill on the second lap and dropped
to 13th place before rallying towards the finish”.
Also taking part in the Championships, Adam Firsht and Jack
Davis-Black performed well in the U15 and U13 races respectively.
Idan Gal-Shohet, 17, placed third in the U20 long jump at
the London Indoor Games at Lee Valley, setting an indoor PB of 6.60m. Eden
Davis, 18, took bronze in the U20 60m in 6.87, just 0.01s outside his best,
while Gal-Shohet improved to 7.57 in the same event. Lia Radus recorded 2:20.85
for 6th place in the U17 800m.
David Stone, 16, took silver in the Middlesex Schools cross
country Championships at Harrow, content to do just enough to qualify for the
England Schools Championships.
Lucie Wolfenden, 16, made a clearance of 2.78m at the Vault
Manchester event at Sportcity in her first pole vault competition of the year.
