Fast 800m for 1500m specialist Lia Radus


Lia Radus, 16, improved her 800m best to 2:13.71 at the BMC Gold Standard event at Trafford. This performance means that Shaftesbury Barnet Harrier Radus has improved her best by five seconds in the course of one month, and now stands 24th in the UK U17 rankings.
“I started off a bit too slowly, so I feel there is still room for improvement. Nevertheless I am delighted with my time", Radus commented. "I will be running the 1500m, my main event, in the English Schools Championships later this month, and my progression over 800m should mean that I can perform well there".
Adam Firsht, 15, was narrowly beaten into second place in the 800m final at the Independent Schools Association National Championships at Birmingham. Firsht, representing Shoreham College, finished just outside his personal best in 2:03.61.
Highgate long jump specialist Idan Gal-Shohet, 17, set an outdoor season's best of 6.60m in the Southern Athletics League at Parliament Hill.
