Middle Distance Track and Road Racing
Angus McMillan ran a club outdoor 5000m record of 14.00.52 in last Wednesday’s BMC meeting in Birmingham as Kim Critchley’s old mark of 14.10.04 dating back to 1994 was finally beaten. Tommy Shaw ran 3.51.18 for 1500m at the same meeting.
Mark Bolland-Cage ran 4.16.86 to win the 1500m at the West Yorkshire Track and Field League last Wednesday.

Beau Jamieson-Wannell (16.35) and Will Hardy (17.10) also ran. At the other end of the age spectrum Dave Lancaster ran 43.09 to come 2nd Vet 65 in the Walkington 10k near Hull. Mike Raynes (12th in 69.51) and Martin Briggs (41st in 79.38) ran the inaugural Bishop Wilton Beast trail/cross country race on Saturday morning on a very tough 8.5 miles course.
