Sophie Dowson, 16, improved her personal best to 3.62m in winning the pole vault at the London Inter-Club Challenge in Hendon.

Rosalind Zeffertt recorded 15.64 and 33.68 for 100m and 200m to improve her UK V50 ranking at both distances.

Zeffertt claimed a comprehensive victory over Olympic athlete Eric Shirley in the latter event. However it must be admitted that, although he is the country’s leading V85 age group athlete, Shirley has slowed somewhat since he partnered gold medallist Chris Brasher in the 1956 Olympic steeplechase final.

Anna Barnett, 16, claimed victory in the discus with a throw of 33.81m at the UK Youth Development League in Hendon.
