George Grant gained an impressive victory at the UK Youth Development League National final, a competition matching the eight most successful clubs in the country.

Grant’s clearance of 3.95m in the pole vault was the second highest of his career so far, and the Shaftesbury Barnet athlete took victory despite being the only under-17 competitor in the field.

In the Girls competition, Anna Barnett, 15, represented Blackheath & Bromley in the shot, discus and hammer, placing second in the discus with a throw of 29.79m.

Visually impaired athlete Zac Shaw, 18, enjoyed a successful debut in national level competition by placing second in both the 100m and 200m at the Sainsbury’s UK School Games in Manchester.
