Hannah Viner warms up for track season with fast 5K

Hannah Viner moved to the top of the UK U23 rankings for the distance when she completed the Mid-Cheshire 5K in 16:44. Highgate Harrier Viner placed ninth overall. Viner reported, "It had been raining all day but it cleared up an hour before the race so conditions were perfect. I went out hard but I wasn't wearing a watch and wasn't aware of my position in the women's race. I am a little disappointed in my time, but it was a road PB and the race came at the end of a heavy training block. It should be a good springboard for the summer."

Eden Davis, 19, contested his first 100m event of the season at the Lee Valley Sprint Open, recording 10.71. Honing his speed at the same meeting, middle-distance specialist Gilad Nachshen, 14, reduced his 200m PB by more than a second to 24.25.

Matti Harris, 15, improved his personal bests for 800m and 1500m in the space of four days, with times of 2:14.04 at the Watford Open Graded Meeting and 4:40.4 in the Eastern Young Athletes League.
