His time 47.17 second fastest of the season his best ever placing at this top level nationally and he now must continue to chase what for him would be a real breakthrough at sub 46 secs. A medal also for Clive Heapes in the 35lbs over the bar junior event at 4-20m underlining the strength of the 17 year old. Teresa Mc Gloin battled bravely in the 5k but faded in the last 2k having pushed real hard early on.
