Eden Davis, 19, led off the GB junior 4x100m relay team
towards victory at the Loughborough International Meeting. Recording 39.53,
they consigned the England team to second place, while teams from Wales,
Ireland and GB were disqualified or did not finish. Davis went on to set a
season's best of 10.59 in the individual event.
Davis commented, "I feel I got out well in the relay
and set the rest of the guys up for a good race. My individual race was a bit
frustrating after I got called back three times but I managed to stay calm and
perform".
Gilad Nachshen, 14, extended his lead at the top of the UK
U15 800m rankings when he reduced his PB to 2:00.32 at the Watford Open Graded
Meeting. His Shaftesbury Barnet teammate Bini Bloom, also 14, improved his best
to 2:19.09 at the same meeting.
Jack Davis-Black, 13, recorded an excellent 4:50 in the YMCA
Mile at Crouch End. Participating in a 141-strong field in the Years 7-10 age group,
Jcoss pupil Davis-Black was only headed by two other runners, both two years
his senior.
Adam Firsht, 15, set a new PB of 2:03.40 in winning his 800m
heat at the U17 Sussex Championships at Crawley. He placed fifth in the final
that same afternoon with a time of 2:04.19, again inside his previous best. His
brother Joshua Firsht, 17, finished fourth in the U20 400m event in 53.20.
Lucie Wolfenden, 16, placed fifth in the U17 Greater
Manchester pole vault championships, equalling her best with a clearance of
3.10m.

Universities Championship at Bedford.
