Report

THIRTEEN UK Championships qualifying standards, an outstanding run by 17-year-old Alex Yee in the 5000m, the quickest 1500m in an all-women’s race and the encouraging return to form of Olympic 1500m runner Ross Murray were just some of the highlights in an outstanding meeting in Watford.
Add in a healthy sprinkling of Olympians, British internationals and overseas runners plus 155 personal bests from a record entry with 376 finishers in 30 races in four hours of non-stop action and no wonder that chairman Tim Brennan reckons it was one of the finest Grand Prix meetings of recent memory.
As for the highlights how about the following to whet your appetite?

1 Angela Petty dominated the women’s 800m to win in 2:00.62 which was inside the New Zealand qualifying standard of 2:01.00 for not only the World Championships in Beijing but also the Olympics in Rio next year. She is also married to Devonian Sam Petty so we can justifiably cheer her on as well in Beijing.

2 Nancy Chepkwemoi’s winning time of 4:03.09 made it the fastest ever all female BMC 1500m race. In addition it was a Watford BMC record and put the 21-year-old Kenyan into the World’s top 20.

3 A world class time to win the women’s 1500m helped to inspire 20-year-old Jess Judd and 21-year-old Melissa Courtney break 4mins 10secs for the first time while 31-year-old Faye Fullerton ended a seven-year wait to also break her PB. The three shot straight to third equal, fifth and sixth in the UK Rankings.

4 A thrilling men’s 1500m race was the first time three Brits have gone sub 3:40 in a BMC race since Watford 2006 – and the top three times are the fastest three outdoors in the UK Rankings this year (only Lee Emmanuel indoors has run quicker in 2015).

5 The return of Ross Murray. It was like turning the clock back to Sportcity in 2012 when this popular Gateshead Harrier surged clear of the field for a breakthrough win in 3:36.69. He has had his problems since but the win on Saturday looked like the old Murray.

6 The women’s 3000m steeplechase was a Watford BMC record for Juliet Checkwoi as the 25-year-old from Uganda clocked 9:48.01 on her debut at the event – and visibly improved her water jump technique with every lap!

7 The last race of the night saw a quite staggering run by Alex Yee as he sprinted to victory in the 5000m B race in a personal best time of 14:09.8. Yee is only 17 years of age – he doesn’t turn 18 until next February – and the time was inside the European U20 qualification standard and should earn him a place in the GB team to run the 3000m at the World Youth Championships. It also looks like it put him third on the UK All-Time Under 18 lists – behind Cornwall legend Jon Richards (13:59.66 in 1981) and a certain Mo Farah (14:05.72 in 2000).

8 Six runners achieved qualification times for the European U23 Championships; 1500m Jake Wightman 3:40.34; 1500m Jessica Judd 4:09.56; 1500m Melissa Courtney 4:09.74; 5000m Becky Straw 16:03.25; 5000m Jennifer Nesbitt 16:03.51 and 3000m steeplechase Iona Lake 9:56.64. Whilst in the U20 qualifications Alex George joined Yee with a fine 1500m time of 3:44.14.

9 Five athletes secured the qualifying standard for the World Youth Championships namely Ben Greenwood (800m, 1:50.50), James Gormley (1500m, 3:46.58), Archie Davis (1500m, 3:50.00), Katy-Ann McDonald (1500m, 4:22.96) and Harriet Knowles-Jones (1500m, 4:20.76).

10 Post race quote of the night was delivered by Michael Callegari to interviewer Geoff Wightman just seconds after winning the C 1500m race in a personal best of 3:44.2 after scorching clear of the field with 700 metres to. “I should have been in the B!” roared a defiant Callegari. Point proved in the best way possible.

11 The ageless Anthony Whiteman picking up the Best of British £200 bonus for the fastest men’s 800m of the evening by winning the B race in 1:48.97 then later doing a superb pace-making job for the 1500m men. It is the fifth successive year that the 43-year-old has broken 1mins 50secs. What an example of longevity and dedication. Behind Whiteman and at the other end of the age range 17 year old Daniel Rowden ran a superb 1:49.32

12 Borrowing a policy used in the Highgate Night of 10,000m spectators were allowed onto the track up to lane 4 to cheer on all the runners in the final three 5000m races, a move that was overwhelmingly applauded by the runners. So was it a coincidence that of the 59 finishers in those three races – the women’s A and the men’s A and B – there were 32 personal bests and 16 season’s bests?

MEN’S 800M
Dale Clutterbuck will have been pleased to have claimed back-to-back wins at Sportcity – where he ran a PB of 2:48.36 – and Watford but the 23-year-old shouldn’t be happy with 1:49.05 on an evening ideal for fast times.
Not that he was the only one as the field seemed slow to respond to the pacemaker but at least Clutterbuck showed his race skills to beat London Olympian Gareth Warburton while Richard Charles, who showed at the front on the second lap, faded to sixth.
Anthony Whiteman took the £200 bonus as best of British by winning the B race in a season’s best of 1:48.97 as the wily old fox had too much for Zak Curran with 17-tear-old Daniel Rowden clocking a PB in third.
In the supporting races the meeting opened with a superb run by 20-year-old Joe Saissi to win the G race in a PB of 1:51.16, chopping over three seconds from his 2014 best.
Saissi had a great tussle with Sam Mitchell and Brian Kelly, who both ran season’s bests, while behind ther were three more PBs to set the tone for a great night.
“I’m really pleased with that, it was a great race and perfect pace-making,” said Saissi, who competes for Hillingdon.
There were also PBs for Sweden’s Chris Nilsson (1:53.73) and Hizam Sheekh (1:54.12) of Rugby & Northampton to win the H and I races respectively.

WOMEN’S 800M
The A race was stacked with quality with 2012 Olympians Laura Weightman and Hannah England stepping down for some sharpening work ahead of the World trials in Birmingham.
“I probably need a couple more races to get things going but I am happy with where I am at the moment,” said Weightman.
“I always find 800m hard.”
As a two-lap specialist New Zealand international Angie Petty was always favourite and she didn’t disappoint, racing through the bell in 60 seconds and keeping her form superbly to win in a season’s best of 2:00.62, just 0.2secs off his PB.
“I can’t believe I ran so quickly and I am so happy with that,” said Petty.
Happiest Brit in the field was probably 22-year-old improving Alexandra Bell, who broke 2:03 for the first time with 2:02.57 in third place.
In the D race 15-year-old Emily Thompson really went for victory reaching the bell in 63 seconds and then pushing on along on the second lap to win by over a second in a PB of 2:10.03.
“I just stuck with the pacemaker and was determined to go for it on the second lap,” said Thompson, who competes for Banbury.
“It was great preparation for the English Schools’ where I will be running the inter girls’ race having finished eighth in the juniors last year.”
There were also PBs for Ireland’s Louise Shanahan (2:08.15) in the D race and Walton’s Fiona de Mauny (2:12.42) in the E event.
“I have been building up to that so I am delighted,” said de Mauny.

MEN’S 1500M
The victory of Olympian Ross Murray was one of the highlights of the night as he stuck to pace-maker Whiteman until the 1100m mark and then struck out on his own.
Tom Lancashire moved by him with 200m to go and briefly it seemed like victory as going to slip from Murray’s grasp. But he steadied himself and struck again down the home straight for a morale boosting success that will set him up perfectly for the British Championships this weekend.
“When Tom went by me I just told myself to hang in there and keep in touch with him because I know so much can happen in that last 50 metres,” said Murray.
“It was hard and I was at my limit but I have never been afraid to put myself on the line, I will take a 3:37, especially after taking it on for the last 500 metres.”
Behind, Lancashire ran his fastest time for three years, while there were season’s bests for 5000m man Tom Farrell and Jake Wightman, whose time was inside the European U23 qualifying standard plus a lifetime best of 3:40.09 for Ross Millington in fourth.
The winners of the other six 1500m races all recorded PBs. No-one was happier at Watford than 19-year-old Windsor Slough Eton & Hounslow athlete Kieran Wye, who smashed his best to win the 1500m G race in 3mins 52.56secs.
“I have not run a PB for three years and that has taken six seconds off my previous best,” said Wye.
“I am over the moon!”
Amazingly the next six finishers clocked PBs with the top six under 3:55 and 15 of the 18 runners breaking four minutes.
In the E race 17-year-old Tonbridge runner Miles Weatherseed showed good speed to win in 3:52.03.
“I am really happy with that win and now it is onto the English Schools’ for the first and last time where I will be aiming to win a medal, though I don’t know what colour,” said Weatherseed.
Jayme Rossiter was particularly pleased to win the F race as he uncorked a 60 seconds last lap to edge out 18-year-old Jams McCarthy.
“That is my first time under 3:50 and I have also done a few others PBs this summer so it is going well,” said Rossiter.

WOMEN’S 1500M
Anyone who has watched Melissa Courtney’s career will appreciate the sheer delight she enjoyed at running not just a personal best to break 4mins 10secs for the first time but also run herself into the GB squad for the European U23s.
Having suffered heartache at just missing out on the Commonwealth Games for Wales last year Courtney at last got her reward as she fought with Jess Judd down the home straight behind runaway winner Nancy Chepkwemoi.
“After missing out on the Commonwealth Games this means so much to me,” said Courtney.
“It was such a great race to be in and the standard was amazing. Now I have got my first GB vest and that feels brilliant as I have been running since I was 12 years old.”
Incredibly eight of the top nine finishes ran lifetime bests while in total of the 13 finishers there were nine PBs and two season’s bests. Only Step Twell, who boasts 4:02.54 t her name and Claire Tarplee missed out.
GB junior 800m international Molly Long didn’t appear to enjoy her experience in the B 1500m though she did enough to win in a PB of 4:20.44.
“That felt like such a long way!” said Long.
Harriet Knowles-Jones was edged out in the closing metres but the 17-year-old was rewarded with a PB – and was then selected for the World Youth Games in Colombia.
In the C race 17-year-old Dartford athlete Chloe Sharp warmed up for the English Schools’ with a PB in second behind Sweden’s Frida Kristiansson.

MEN’S 3000M STEEPLECHASE
Doug Musson didn’t quite have the legs to stay with Kenya’s Ben Siwa but the 21-year-old Notts runner, who finished runner-up in the England U23 Championships the previous weekend, was rewarded with yet another PB of 8:51.89.
“I am improving bit by bit,” said Musson, who started the season with a PB of 9:06.94.
“I was trying to get to the Euro U23 qualifying time but it was a tough one. Now I am doing the British Championships for the first time which should be a good experience.”

WOMEN’S 300M STEEPLECHASE
It was a tough ask for Iona Lake to achieve the qualifying time for the European U23 just a week after lifting the trials but the 22-year-old showed great character and determination to do just that.
Despite taking a bath at the water jump on the penultimate lap Lake didn’t panic and finished strongly behind Uganda’s Juliet Chekwel and Birchfield’s Sarah Treacy.
“That fall got my adrenalin going again!” said Lake.

WOMEN’S 5000M
Poland’s Dominika Nowakowska was an emphatic winner with Lauren Deadman finally ending her four-year wait to beat her PB with 15:45.12 in second.
“It was an amazing atmosphere and we had great support from the spectators, that really helped,” said Deadman, referring to the decision by the track referee to allow fans to move onto the track up to lane four for all the 5000m races to offer encouragement.
Becky Straw and Jenny Nesbitt, both aged 20, had a great tussle for third and were rewarded with PBs and European U23 qualification times. Straw was subsequently named in the GB team to run the 10,000 in Tallinn.
Eleven of the 18 finishers ran PBs.

MEN’S 5000M
What a cracking race the A event served up. Against the background of a fantastic atmosphere with fans cheering on the track and the stadium announcers urging on the runners 10 of the top 16 ran bests.
But more than that at the sharp end Jonathan Thewliss gave it everything to shake off Poland runner Marek Skorupa over the closing mile but Skorupa summoned up a huge effort to snatch victory on the line.
“That is the first time I have been under 14 minutes for four years and I don’t think I would have got around those closing laps without the spectators helping me, they were brilliant,” said Thewliss.

Running his first BMC race Cheltenham’s Graham Rush had made a concerted effort to win the final race of the night in the B event in the final four laps but he just couldn’t shake off the precociously talented 17-year-old Alex Yee.
In a great sprint finish the Kent AC youngster out-dipped Rush on the line to win by one one-hundredth but the Cheltenham man was rewarded with a massive PB as he clocked 14mins 09.19secs to slash 26 seconds off his previous best and leap to fourth in the South West Rankings.
“Originally I couldn’t get into the race but then someone dropped out and I got a call last weekend to say I could run,” said Rush.
“It was my first BMCrace but won’t be my last as it was perfect to run a PB and it was great to have the spectators on the track to cheer us on. That really helped.”
As for Yee what can one say. The 17-year-old was superb.
“I didn’t think I had a sprint finish like that!” said Yee.”I am really pleased at how I came back to win that.”
Yee was subsequently named to run the 3000m at the World Youth Games having already been selected for the Commonwealth Youth Games in Samoa. What an incredible year that young man is enjoying.

It wasn’t so close in the C race as 23-year-old Alexander Teuten –wearing a BMC t-shirt – ran away from the field to finish ten seconds clear and slash 23 seconds off his best.
Incredibly the top ten all ran PBs and 16 of the 22 finishers did likewise once again underlining the popularity of this event for distance runners who otherwise struggle to find fast races.
