GEORGIA BELL – Has now moved across the water to Berkeley, California, where she is studying for a Masters on Sports Scholarship. We wish her every success in her studies, and GEORGIA will be looking at improving her 1500m personal best (Outdoor 4:16.96, Indoor 4:26.24) which she ran in May/February respectively this year. Also her 800m personal best (Outdoor 2:03.38, Indoor 2:07.12) could be under threat.
The University of California was founded in 1868, and is located to the east of San Fransico Bay. They are known as the ‘Calfornia Golden Bears’ and currently the cross country season has started and finishes in Late November with the NCAA Championships in Louisville Kentucky.

UK YOUTH DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE FINAL – Took place in Birmingham on Sunday 6 September. Match Result 1st Windsor, Slough, Eton & Hounslow (839 points), 2nd SBH (771), 3rd
Blackheath & Bromley (759.5), 4th Team Edinburgh (727.5), 5th City of Sheffield (715), 6th Rugby & Northampton (670), 7th Birchfield Harriers (644), 8th Team DC (597)
A fantastic team performance in good conditions saw SBH finish 2nd overall, which was our best performance under the new YDL format. There were many good individual efforts but the key to our success was the team spirit and the willingness of the athletes to double and treble up, even at short notice, to cover an injured colleague. The list of athletes who did 3 events and more is a long one but I think it is worth drawing attention to this level of commitment in a National Final.
Starting with the U17 men. CHENNA OKOH collected 4 medals in the 400m (gold) and a PB in the 200m (silver) as well as both relays. GEORGE GROOM picked up 3 Golds in the 3000m, 1500m S/C and particularly commendable was his first attempt at the 400m H where he not only won the “B” but ran a time faster than the “A” string winner. HAMZA KADIR won a full set of medals in the 800m, 1500m and the 4 x 400m relay. KARIM KESKAS, both hurdles and 200m, BILLY PRAIM-SINGH, took the Gold and 2 Silvers in the SP, HT and DT. ABASS ADEJONWO won the TJ and was also in the LJ and sprint relay team.
Moving to the U17 women. ISABEL DEACON never stopped all day taking on the PV, 80m H, TJ and the 4 x 100m. PHILIPPA DAVENALL broke off her holiday in the Lake District a day early to compete and was rewarded with a full set of medals in the HT, DT and SP. TILLY SUTHERLAND-YOUNG was another busy athlete in the 100m, 300m H, the 4 x 100m and the 4 x 300m. LIANNE LANGFORD was in the 300m (Bronze), 1500m and 4 x 300m. REBECCA ANDREOU was carrying an injury and yet insisted on playing her part for the team in the 800m, 1500m and 4 x 300m. LOLA DOWNES was in the 80m H, 200m and the 4 x 100m. JESSICA HURLEY, another athlete struggling with illness, covered the 300m, the 4 x 100m and the U20 800m.
Now the U20 men. GERALD MATTHEW had a really impressive comeback after 2 months off with injury in the 100m, 200m and the 4 x 100m collecting 2 silvers and a bronze. SAM HAZEL won 2 golds in the 400m and the 4 x 400m and a massive PB in the 200m where he picked up the Silver. BEN ROCHFORD collected silvers in the 800m and 1500m and a gold in the 4 x 400m. Multi-eventer DYLAN CARLSSON-SMITH won gold in the JT and silvers in the 110m H and the SP as well as competing in the DT.
Finally in the U20 women, KAYANNA REID won the “B” string TJ and LJ as well as competing in the 100 and 4 x 100m. RACHAEL FATUADE also covered 4 events, 100m, 200m, 100m H and the 4 x 100m. CHARLOTTE JOHNSTON was awesome taking on the 800m, 1500m and the 3000m where she won the “B” string silver. FIONA MCQUIRE competed in the SP, JT and the DT where she took the bronze. SOPHIA PITSIALIS covered the SP, HT, JT and HJ. REBECCA HURLEY, who like her sister had also been far from well last well, was in the 400m H, 400m and 4 x 400m. Last but not least was LILY BECKFORD, the European Junior 4 x 400m relay gold medalist, who took gold in the 400m and the 200m as well as running in the 4 x 100m relay.
The men were clear winners and therefore qualified for the European Champion Clubs Cup for Juniors in 2016.
