A highly successful Worthing 10k took place on Sunday in beautiful, if hot, conditions with a record number of 2365 runners taking part.
An in-form James Westlake of Crawley AC claimed victory in a time of 30.31 breaking the course record. Andy Greenleaf of Serpentine Running Club was second in 30.58 and Jonathan Cornish of Hercules Wimbledon was the bronze medallist in 31.14.
Cleo Tomlinson (Weald) broke the Sussex Schools championship record for the Junior (U15) pentathlon record after a fine battle with Christ’s Hospital’s Isabelle Humphreys at Crawley on Wednesday.
Sebastian Rodger from Eastbourne made a cracking start to his track season at the Loughborough International meeting on Sunday in the 400 metres hurdles.
In recent seasons Rodger has been chasing the standard for major championships until well into the season but with a fluid run in good conditions on Sunday the Eastbourne runner hit the “European Standard” with an impressive 49.80s.
Rodger said “It’s nice to run sub 50 seconds, I know it should be normal, but to achieve the European Standard so early in the season makes me very happy.”
