Huge PB for David Stone in his first track race of the season


Shaftesbury Barnet athletes David Stone, 16, and Maayan Radus, 14, both withstood 31° temperatures to gain 1500m victories in the Eastern Young Athletes League at Allianz Park, Hendon.
In his first track race of the season, Stone headed the U17 field for the first 200m before settling into second place for much of the race. He retook the lead with 300m remaining to ease to a comfortable win in 4:09.29, a 10 second PB. Likewise Radus tracked the leader in the U15 race before surging over the last 300m to win in 4:54.
Roger Bruck maintained his unbeaten run in the high jump in the England Masters Inter Area Challenge at Solihull. Competing in the 70+ category, Bruck, 78, scaled 1.20m. However, with all age groups competing together, the bar was raised 5 cm at a time, and 1.25m was not to be attained on this occasion.
Brothers Joshua and Adam Firsht earned good points for Brighton & Hove AC in the Youth Development League at Southampton. Joshua, 17, recorded 11.9 for 100m and 24.3 for 200m, while Adam, 15, was just 0.1 outside his 800m personal best with 2:03.5.
Matti Harris gained a personal best and Adam Cahn a season's best contesting the 800m for Shaftesbury Barnet at the London Inter Club Challenge at Allianz Park. Harris, 15, recorded 2:10.92 while Cahn, 16, achieved 2:06.91.
Aron Yona, 13, recorded 5:01.68 at the Watford Open Graded Meeting in his first ever 1500m race.
