Congratulations to Connor F who smashed his personal best in the famous night of 10000m P.Bs on the 18th of May at the Highgate Harriers track.
Connor ran well in the invitational international event as the warm up to the British Athletics 10000m Pairs Olympics trial. Connor fed off the inspirational atmosphere to smash his previous PB and the school record to boot, lowering his 800m best to 1.51.71 . Placing 7th against athletes at least two years his senior was a major step forward in class. Just being half a yard away from a GB athletes at the finish shows the measure of where his ambitions and talent have taken him so far. He bettered his own record by nearly ¾ of a second from 1.52.43 despite easing through the line after a very tidy first lap.
