Birmingham European Championships
Last week saw an abundance of athletes on our screens for those who were following, or those who put in the effort to watch in real life. There were some great performances from all countries and I am just highlighting some of those below –

Womens Highlights
Amy Hunt had a phenomenal week with an impressive 100m gold title (11.00) and another victory within the 200m (22.19). This final has three Brits lining up where Dina Asher-Smith came in third for bronze (22.29) with Success Eduan placing 6th (22.66). Adding to the Brits strong form across the championship, Dina Asher-Smith, Amy Hunt, Success Eduan and Imani Lansiquot made up the winning team for GB winning Gold (42.05) in the Womens 4x100m Relay. Within the Womens 400m Final GBs Yemi Mary John placed 5th (51.12) and Charlotte Henrich placed 6th (51.29). Perhaps one of the events with most publicity within this championship, the Womens 800m was a battle between Swiss athlete Audrey Werro, Brit Keely Hodgkinson and  Femke Bol of the Netherlands- after some drama in the heats which saw Werro take a nasty fall she came out on top with Gold (1:54.81) with Hodgkinson having to settle for Silver (1:55.01) followed by Bol with Bronze (1:55.54) – we also saw Jemma Reekie place a respectable 5th (1:59.15). The Womens 1500m saw Georgia Hunter Bell take home Gold (4:07.78) in an effortless style.
Three Brits lined up to the womens 5000m final with Hannah Nuttall placing 5th (15:41.51), India Weir placing 16th (15:55.42) and Innes Fitzgerald placing 19th (16:00.07). Italy’s Nadia Battocletti show her continued dominance winning both the 5000m (15:37.84) and 10,000m (31:41.17), where we saw Megan Keith place 6th (32:04.81), Izzy Fry place 16th (32:37.22) and Poppy Tank place 23rd (34:03.99).

Womens Highlights
The Mens 100m saw a one and two finish for Team GB, with Romell Glove taking home Gold (10.09) and Jeremiah Azu placing second for Silver (10.16). In the 200m, Shaftesbury’s Zharnel Hughes continued his strong season with a Silver medal for second place (10.16), with fellow club member Ebuka Nwokeji placing 5th (20.95) in the heats earlier in the competition, sadly didn’t progress to the finals but showed a strong future in his Senior Debut. Team GB picked up Gold in the shape of Matthew Hudson Smith placing first (44.17) in the mens 400m. In the 800m final, we saw Ben Pattison place 5th (1:46.14), sadly Max Burgin had to withdraw last minute due to injury during the warm up, after the fastest QT in the heats (1:44.73) – which allowed for Ireland’s Mark English to take home Gold (1:45.26).

Highlights from the Archive
Looking back at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, held in August 1972.

Mens 10,000m and 5,000m
Dave Bedford enjoyed a memorable Olympic campaign, finishing 6th in the 10,000m final (28:05.4) after setting a blistering pace from the start and leading through halfway in an Olympic-record split of 13:44.0. He also reached the 5000m final, finishing 12th in 13:43.2, after comfortably qualifying from his heat in 13:49.8. Although medals were just out of reach, Bedford’s fearless front-running made his Munich campaign one to remember and demonstrated his willingness to take the race to the world’s best.r>
Later in 1973 Bedford would go on to run one of the greatest performances in British distance-running history, smashing the 10,000m world record with 27:30.80 – he took almost 8-seconds off the previous best by Lasse Viren. More impressively Dave’s time stood for almost 15 years, and to this day he still remains the only British man to have held the 10,000m world record.

Womens 1500m
To showcase how far Womens Athletics has developed, the 1972 Olympics were the first games to include the womens 1500m. Joyce Smith also made history as she broke the British record twice during the competition, she ran 4:11.27 in her heat before lowing the record again to an impressive 4:09:37 in the Semi-Final, finishing 6th and narrowly missing out on the final. Her 4:09.37 British record stood for almost five years before being equalled by Mary Stewart in 1977 — this was the beginning of the progression that has now reached 3:52.61, which is held by Georgia Hunter-Bell from the Paris Olympics in 2024.
Joyce helped to pave the way of generations of British Women distance runners and moved up to the Marathon distance in her 40s. Joyce impressively continued to run into her seventies, only stopping in 2021 when she noted she ‘didn’t enjoy running so slowly’.

A note from John Kelly on the retirement of Geoff Morphitis
After close on 60 years dedicated service, Geoff is now retiring from all his Club roles. Throughout this long period, Geoff has been central to SBH as we transitioned from a minor Southern Counties outfit into one of the UK’s most prominent Clubs. Geoff has undertaken any number of key administrative positions, has served as team manager in the NAL and other leagues, and still found time to act as a coach. It is safe to say, that without Geoff, we would not be the Club we are today. At some point in the near future, we will arrange an event to celebrate Geoff’s immense contribution.
Over the last few months, Geoff has been gradually handing over his roles to the other members of the Club. Finally, he is relinquishing his position as Club Treasurer and passing on his duties to Richard Samuel. During this transition, there may be a slight lag period as we go through the process of changing the name(s) on the Club Bank accounts etc. We expect any delays to be short-lived, but if you have any queries, you can contact:

Club Treasurer: Richard Samuel (richard.samuel1@btinternet.com) (Tel: 07837583610),
Club Secretary: Philip Cunningham (billylow@ntlworld.com)

Best Regards, John Kelly, Chair SBH (john.kelly@lshtm.ac.uk)

Volunteers’ appeal
Finally, we are once again appealing for more licensed officials and volunteers to support our StoneX fixtures.

Shaftesbury Alumni

A tribute to Andy King
This week we received some sad news of the passing of Andrew (Andy) King, who died on 23 June 2026, aged 66.
Andrew King, who competed for Shaftesbury in the 1970s and 1980s, died on 23 June at the age of 66, having being diagnosed with a brain tumour in April. His best performance in a Shaftesbury vest was probably 59th in the English National Cross-Country of 1987 – in the days when the senior men’s race was still run over nine miles. Growing up in Queensbury, he had started running for Shaftesbury while still at school at Haberdashers, as did Roger Simons, Julian Goater, Stuart Moore and many others. On the track he ran 3000m steeplechase in the British Athletics League – when Shaftesbury took a depleted team to Edinburgh he was also induced by Geoff Morphitis to do the high jump “for the points”. Over the years he also ran for Oxford University and Tipton Harriers. After a doctorate in medieval history, he trained in Birmingham as a physiotherapist, specialising in neurology, and worked for the NHS in Leicestershire. He taught at Coventry University, and three years ago became a lecturer at Liverpool University – he was still doing park runs in Birkenhead Park earlier this year. The funeral is at Landican Crematorium, Wirral, on 17 August.

Words by Tim King, Andy’s brother

Youth Development League
More success from our juniors as Shaftesbury won the final meet on Sunday 2nd Aug. This result means the club has now been promoted back to YDL Premiership, individual results to follow.

National Athletics League
For our Seniors, NAL is still on-going, currently the club is placed in second just behind Chelmsford AC. However all clubs are closely matched at the top with just 50 points between Shaftesbury in second and Herts Phoenix in 3rd. Our next fixture will be hosted locally at StoneX on 22nd Aug – please do get in touch with team managers if there are any spaces you’d be interesting in filing. We particularly lack depth within our Women’s team.

News

Commonwealth Games Underway
Monday marked the start of this year’s Commonwealth Games, and while several high-profile athletes have unfortunately had to withdraw through injury or illness, it’s been fantastic to see such a strong Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers presence representing their nations.
Representing England are Zharnel Hughes (200m & 4x100m Relay), Emily Newnham and Lina Nielsen (400m Hurdles), Kristian Imroth (3000m Steeplechase), Kimani Jack (High Jump), Renee Regis and Ebuka Nwokeji (4x100m Relay), and Alicia Regis (Mixed 4x400m Relay). Representing Montserrat is Sydney Mendes, competing in the Long Jump and 4x400m Relay.
With the championships still underway, here are some of the standout performances so far:

• Sydney Mendes – Long Jump Qualification: 10th, 6.42m (Personal Best)
• Kimani Jack – High Jump Final: Bronze Medal, 2.20m
• Kristian Imroth – 3000m Steeplechase Final: 7th, 8:38.12

England Athletics Age Group Championships
Posie Shaw produced two outstanding performances in the Under-18 Girls’ 800m. She first set a new personal best of 2:09.45 in her heat to comfortably qualify for the final before returning to produce a fearless front-running race. Making her move with around 450 metres remaining, Posie opened up a decisive gap on the field and held on strongly to claim victory in 2:10.39.

Club Connect Relay Success at the London Diamond League
Shaftesbury had a strong presence at the London Diamond League on 18 July, with two teams competing in the Club Connect 4x100m Relays (Mixed U20 and Mixed U18).
Our U18 team produced an excellent performance, finishing 4th in a highly competitive field in a time of 44.57. The U20 team stole the show, taking victory in a commanding 43.07 to continue their impressive season.

European U18 Athletics Championships
Congratulations to Holly Ryan on an outstanding championships, reaching the finals of both the 200m and the Sprint Medley Relay. After finishing second in both her 200m heat and semi-final—setting a new personal best along the way—Holly went on to place an impressive 5th in the final. She also ran the second leg for Great Britain in the Sprint Medley Relay, helping the team secure second place in Round 1 before finishing 4th in the final.
Shaftesbury also celebrated success in the field with Chu Ononogbu in the discus. After throwing an excellent 52.48m in qualification to secure his place in the final, Chu unfortunately recorded no mark in the final but still finished an outstanding 12th in Europe.

Josh Kerr Smashes Mile World Record
British middle-distance star Josh Kerr produced a historic performance at the London Diamond League, breaking the men’s mile world record with a stunning time of 3:42.66. In front of a packed home crowd, Kerr took almost half a second off Hicham El Guerrouj’s record, which had stood for 27 years.
Kerr had made no secret of his ambition to rewrite the record books, and he delivered in spectacular fashion with a perfectly paced run. His achievement is one of the greatest moments in British athletics in recent years and further cements his place among the world’s best middle-distance runners.

Other Highlights from the London Diamond League
Josh Kerr’s world-record mile stole the headlines, but there were plenty of other outstanding performances in London. Keely Hodgkinson delighted the home crowd with victory in the women’s 800m, clocking 1:56.21 to claim her first Diamond League win of the season. The men’s 800m was one of the races of the day, with American Brandon Miller producing a lifetime best of 1:42.19 to edge Ireland’s Mark English, while Britain’s Max Burgin finished a close third in 1:43.30. In the women’s 200m, Olympic champion Julien Alfred continued her superb form with a meeting record of 21.66, ahead of Gabrielle Thomas. Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith finished fourth, with Amy Hunt close behind in fifth, both recording season’s best performances.
The packed London Stadium once again provided a fantastic atmosphere, with world-class performances giving fans plenty to look forward to ahead of the major championships later this summer.

Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers Athletes focus 
Zharnel Hughes lined up in the men’s 200m and produced another impressive performance, running 20.04 seconds to finish amongst a world-class field. The British record holder showed his trademark strength on the home straight, continuing his excellent form ahead of the major championships.
Emily Newnham also represented the club in the women’s 400m hurdles, clocking 54.53 seconds against a high-quality international field. The talented young athlete continues to gain valuable experience at the highest level and is establishing herself as one of Britain’s most exciting quarter-mile hurdlers.

Dealing with Injury
It’s every athlete’s nightmare. Training is going well, consistency is building, and then injury strikes. Sometimes it starts as a quiet niggle that you dismiss as fatigue. Other times it arrives completely out of the blue. Either way, the emotional impact is often the same. Suddenly, you can’t do the thing you love, your plans for the season feel as though they’ve disappeared overnight, and the inevitable question creeps in: What did I do wrong?
Having dealt with several significant injuries throughout my running journey, I’ve learnt that the answer is rarely straightforward. Injury is a psychological challenge as much as a physical one, and everyone experiences it differently. Personally, I know I’m not the easiest person to be around when I’m injured. Running is such a big part of my routine that when it’s taken away, I can quickly find myself overthinking every symptom and searching for the fastest route back to training. With that in mind, here are a few things that have helped me.
Don’t panic. Most injuries improve with the right amount of rest. If, like me, you struggle to slow down, try reframing it as an opportunity to do the things you usually don’t have time for. Spend time with friends and family, read a book, or finally tackle those jobs you’ve been putting off. For me, that usually means cleaning or organising my flat. If I’m spending more time at home, I’d rather enjoy the space I’m in.
Don’t rush your return. It’s tempting to chase fitness because you have a race planned, but there will almost always be another opportunity. I’ve missed two London Marathons, yet the race was still there when I was healthy enough to return. Coming back too soon often leads to a longer recovery or more frustration than waiting a little longer. Trust that your body will tell you when it’s ready.
Seek professional advice. Over the years, I’ve built a trusted network of professionals and friends whose advice I value. If something doesn’t feel right, getting it assessed can provide reassurance and help guide your recovery. Where possible, I find scans particularly useful for understanding what’s going on and creating an appropriate rehabilitation plan, even though they can be expensive. One thing I’ve also learnt is that seeking too many opinions can sometimes become counterproductive. Every professional is likely to have a slightly different approach, so once you’ve found someone you trust, it’s often best to follow their guidance and commit to the rehabilitation plan.
Find another outlet. If your injury allows it, explore alternative forms of exercise. Not only can they help maintain fitness, but you might discover something you genuinely enjoy. After a stress fracture last year, I took up cycling and eventually bought a road bike—something I never would have done without being forced to step away from running.
Don’t neglect your nutrition. This is something I still have to remind myself of. My instinct when I’m injured is often to eat less because I’m training less. In reality, a healing body still needs plenty of energy and nutrients to recover. Good nutrition is just as important during recovery as it is during training.
Keep perspective. This is often the hardest part, but it’s also the most important. I try to see injury as an opportunity to rebuild, recover and address the things I might otherwise overlook. Rest allows your whole body—not just the injured area—to recover. I’ve also learnt that fitness comes back quicker than you think, and every setback teaches you something new about your body, your training and what works best for you.
Do what feels right for you. This is probably the most personal piece of advice I can give. If you feel like being around people, embrace it. If you need some time to yourself, that’s okay too. There isn’t a right or wrong way to navigate injury. Sometimes staying connected to the running community and celebrating other people’s successes can be motivating. Other times, it’s healthier to switch off completely. Whether that means taking a break from Strava or checking it every day, do whatever genuinely helps you. I’ve done both over the years, and I’ve learnt there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach.
Injuries still suck, but they don’t define your season or your progress. Recovery takes patience, but you’ll come back stronger—not just physically, but mentally too. Hopefully my above experiences and coping mechanisms can help some of you now or in the future.

If you have any insights, experiences or anecdotes you’d like to share in a future newsletter, I’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch!

European Athletics U18 Championships
Congratulations to both Holly Ryan and Chu Ononogbu, who have been selected to represent Great Britain at the European Athletics U18 Championships in Italy. Holly will compete in the 200m following an outstanding personal best of 23.72, achieved in challenging windy conditions at the Cardiff meeting in June. Chu will represent GB in the Discus after setting a new PB of 57.49m, also recorded in Cardiff earlier this summer.

We wish them both the very best as they take on the best young athletes in Europe.

Prefontaine Classic, Eugene
Further afield, alongside the excitement of the World Cup, we saw some impressive performances across the Atlantic at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene.

GB British performances
Keely Hodgkinson produced another encouraging performance in the women’s 800m, finishing second in a time of 1:56.73 after being narrowly edged out by Kenya’s Lilian Odira in the closing stages. This was another positive step in Hodgkinson’s return to top form, particularly after suffering a heavy fall in training just days before the race.
Amy Hunt also gained valuable experience competing in a world-class women’s 100m field. Although she narrowly missed out on a podium finish, her performance against some of the fastest sprinters in the world highlighted her continued progress. The women’s mile saw strong British performances from Georgia Hunter-Bell and Laura Muir, with both athletes delivering impressive runs. Hunter-Bell recorded a personal best of 4:18.52, while Muir clocked 4:22.31 for a season’s best.
In the men’s events, Zharnel Hughes finished sixth in the 200m, recording a time of 20.26, while Bizimana Yusuf placed 10th in a highly competitive 800m field with a time of 1:46.37. Away from the track, Lawrence Okoye secured seventh place in the Discus with a throw of 65.25m.

⭐ Standout performances
Melissa Jefferson-Wooden claimed victory in the women’s 100m in a time of 10.78, edging out Sha’Carri Richardson by just 0.01 seconds. Tate Taylor delivered one of the biggest surprises of the meeting, defeating Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo to win the men’s 200m in 19.75. Nikki Hiltz took victory in the women’s mile with a world-leading 4:17.49, while Kayinsola Ajayi won a stacked men’s 100m field in 9.84. Tara Davis-Woodhall secured the women’s long jump title with a leap of 7.13m, winning by just one centimetre.

I hope you have all had a good week so far!

Firstly, I’d like to introduce myself to those I haven’t met before. I’m Nicky – those who attend track sessions may already have seen me around: short blonde hair and a few leg tattoos! After a short pause in the newsletter, I’ll be stepping in as your new newsletter writer. I hope to keep you up to date with all things club-related, from local fixtures and race results to stand out performances.

News
Stone X Stadium has been confirmed as the venue for ATHLOS LDN26 on Friday 18th September. The Club will be looking for volunteers and marshals closer to the event, so keep an eye out for more details in the coming months. Please also note that access to the track will be restricted during the week leading up to the event. It’s exciting to see our stadium hosting an event of this scale, and it’s particularly interesting that this will be an all-female event — we are expecting some seriously fast times! More information and tickets can be found here.

Summer Competitions at StoneX kick off with the Season Opener this weekend on Saturday, 20 June. We have many athletes competing, however If competing isn’t for you, supporters and spectators are very welcome too.

The club is looking for more licensed officials to help support competitions and meetings. Becoming an official means obtaining an England Athletics licence, which involves three steps: attending a short online course (typically a couple of hours on a weekday evening), completing short self-paced Safeguarding and Health & Safety modules, and completing a DBS check.The club will cover all costs for anyone able to officiate at two fixtures per season. If you’re interested, please check the guidance document here and let either James or Helen know so they can support you through the process. Alternatively, you can reply to this newsletter.

A reminder that we are halfway through the Track season and the 3rd YDL is crucial for promotion, the next two EYALs are also vital for us to get into the final. Regarding NAL, we made a strong start to the season however we had several gaps in the team – please reach out if you are keen to race for the club in the upcoming fixtures below.
