Scott Overall’s race to achieve the 5000 metres qualifying standard for the World Championships took him to Huesden in Belgium. Unfortunately the Blackheath & Bromley athlete remains outside the standard he needs as he timed 13.36.17. He will have one final attempt at achieving the 13.20 he requires at this Friday evenings Grand Prix meeting at Crystal Palace.

Montell Douglas was in action at Zaragoza in Spain where she ran 11.45 in her heat of the 100 metres and 11.54 in the final At Antrim in the Home Countries Schools International, Ben Parkin won the 400 hurdles in a new personal best of 54.40. This reversed the placings from last weeks English Schools as Ben Hopkins was second in 54.86.

Second claimer Samantha Milner took the runners up spot in the discus with a throw of 39.84 and it was second place also in the shot for Sabine Efiannayi with a putt of 11.93.

Unfortunately a back problem meant Tom Bensted trailed in last in the 400.
