JFS pupil David Stone, 16, has been selected to represent
England in the ISF World Schools' Cross Country Championship in Paris next
month. Stone earned his place following his victory in a close and dramatic
race at last month’s Under 17 National Cross Country Championships at Parliament Hill. He took home from that race a trophy
won eight years ago by former JFS pupil Richard Goodman, and in the more
distant past by athletes such as Mo Farah and David Bedford. Shaftesbury Barnet
athlete Stone also won junior 3000m gold in last year's Maccabiah.
Roger Bruck, 78, achieved his highest jump since 2016 in
taking V75 gold at the British Masters Championships at Lee Valley. His
clearance of 1.24m took the Barnet & District athlete to the top of the
National age group rankings. Bruck commented, "I think my improvement was
due to a longer and faster run up, and also helped by my giving the 60m event
the miss". Bruck also secured 200m silver and long jump bronze.
Shaftesbury Barnet multi-eventer Rosalind Zeffertt gained
two bronzes in the V55 age group, recording 9.76 in the 60m and a distance of 3.52m
in the long jump. "I am working towards running the 60m in less time than
it takes Bolt to run 100m," Zeffertt mused.
Hannah Viner was first lady and second overall in the
Hampstead Heath parkrun, recording 17:46.
