Maayan Radus led Barnet home
to team gold in the Virgin London Mini Marathon Under 15 Borough
Challenge. In her first year of the age group, Radus placed sixth individually,
recording 18:08 for the officially measured 3 mile course in unseasonably hot
and difficult conditions. The previous weekend Radus had demonstrated her
fitness by cutting her 1500m best to
4:55.7 in the Eastern Young Athletes League at Watford. Remarkably, that
same morning, she had placed fourth in a duathlon (1500m run, 7.5km bike ride, 1500m run) setting the fastest time in the
age group across both girls and boys for the second running stage.
Lia Radus and David Stone both placed eighth in their U17
age group in the Mini Marathon Borough Challenge. Their times were 18:02 and
15:50 respectively, with Radus suffering a quadriceps cramp in the latter
stages.
Jack Davis-Black finished 14th in the U13 event in 17:56,
leading home the Islington team. His mother, Sara Black, completed the full
marathon in 3:24:51. Despite drinking a lot of water during the race, Black suffered
sunstroke and severe dehydration and was admitted to hospital overnight.
Gilad Nachshen finished 27th in the U15 Borough Challenge in
17:11. The previous week he gained a double victory over 300m and 800m in the Eastern Young Athletes League at Watford,
setting a 300m PB of 39.1. Nachshen followed that up three days later by
reducing his 800m best to 2:01.48 at the Watford Open Graded Meeting,
reinforcing his position at the top of the national U15 rankings.
