Busy and successful week for Hannah Viner


Hannah Viner capped an intensive nine days of racing by placing 11th in the Vitality London 10,000. Her time of 34:35 was close to her PB, and followed a timing of 4:52 in the Westminster Mile the previous day. The previous week, Viner scored double victories over 800m and 1500m in the Southern League at Watford, setting a personal best of 2:14.4 in the shorter event. Then mid-week Viner set a further PB of 16:37.21 over 5000m in a British Milers Club race at Eltham.

"It was a bit nerve-wracking to be in the elite field in both races this weekend, and to line up alongside Jo Pavey in The Mall", Viner commented. "This season has got off to a good start and I'm looking forward to the Southern Championships and the England Under 23s next month".

Rosalind Zeffert moved to sixth on the UK V55 100m list with a timing of 15.1 in the Southern League at Watford. She doubled up by recording 33.2 for 200m.

Lia Radus, 16, ran a 1500m season's best of 4:41.35 at the British Milers Club Grand Prix at Watford.

Anna Barnett, 19, gained silver in the Kent U20 discus championships at Ashford with a throw of 30.36m.

Ellie Edwards, 21, opened her outdoor season by recording 12.54 for 100m at the Trafford AC Grand Prix at Stretford.

Aron Yona, 13, set an 800m PB of 2:34.39 at the Watford Open Graded Meeting.
