In the 100m the U17s enjoyed some great PBs from Molly Woodcock (13.2), Charlotte Newton (13.41), Ollie Marchant (11.82) and Jayden Campbell (11.85). Luke Johnson returned to smash his 400Hurdles PB to finish 2^nd with 66.68 with James Blanch taking the B race win, also with a PB of 71.92. Over in the sprint hurdles, Oliver Belbeck recovered well from an impaired start when his blocks slipped to finish 2nd, with Jayden Campbell taking 1^st in the B race with a PB of 15.36. In the distance events, the 1500 was eventful - Dom Martin controlled the pace and took the U17M win in 4.10, with Tom Wightman finishing 2^nd in the B string with a well deserved PB of 4.24.28. In the U20 race Joseph Smith ran a huge PB to finish in 4.56.69, and despite Eddie Atkins being sick halfway through the race, he continued to run an amazing PB of 4.54.28!

In the 800m, Blue Heath-Smith ran a cracking, well-paced race to finish 1^st in a new PB of 2.20.16 and Harry Knight earnt himself a PB of 2.18.33 in the U17M race. We had 3 women in the Steeplechase, with all of them running a PB - Abi Thornley (5.57 dead), Jess Sheppard (6.12.95) and Amelie Paul (6.25.63). Jess made it a double with 5.18.17 in the flat 1500m too.
