Lia Radus narrowly missed out on a place on the podium at the Junior British Athletics One Mile Road Championships, held as part of the Westminster Mile series of races.
Radus, 14, placed fourth in the under-15 Girls’ event in 5:13, the same time as bronze medallist Lucy Olsen.
David Stone, 14, placed 23rd in the U-15 Boys’ race in 4:52, while Matti Harris, 13, recorded 5:27 to finish high up in the non-championship field. In all cases, actual “chip” times, adjusted for the time taken to pass the start line, were one or two seconds faster.
Hannah Viner, 20, trimmed her 10,000m PB by 37s to 36:03.87 at the Highgate Harriers’ Night of 10,000m PBs, which incorporated the Olympic trials. The performance raised Viner to seventh in the UK U-23 rankings.
The three younger members of the Hurley family each won medals in the Hertfordshire Championships for the second year running.
Rebecca, 17, won silver in the U-20 400m hurdles in a personal best of 68.99 in Watford. Greg, 15, recorded 57.80 for silver in the boys’ U-17 400m, while Jessica, 16, took bronze in the girls’ U-17 400m in 59.98.
Eden Davis, 17, gained silver in the U-20 100m, recording 11.16. Davis followed this achievement with victories in the 100m, 200m and 400m at the Southern Athletics League in Erith.
Lucie Wolfenden, 14, cleared 2.60m for silver in the U-15 pole vault at the Greater Manchester and Cheshire County Championships in Macclesfield.
