The England Athletics U23 and U20 Championships took place on the newly-laid track at Chelmsford at the weekend with representative places in the European Championships at stake.
Despite some windy and wet weather, there were good performances all round, including that of Morpeth Harrier Rory Leonard, back in the country from study in America.
Rory finished 2nd in the Men’s 5000m in a time of 14:10.15 behind race winner Will Barnicoat of Windsor, Slough, Eton and Hounslow who clocked 14:09.20 with Leeds City’s Josh Dickinson 3rd in 14:11.04.
