Harry Harper excels

Highlight for LHAC at the BUCS Indoors Championships at Sheffield over the weekend was the 3:47.65 clocking in the 1500m by Harry Harper.  He was beaten into second, but the winner was James Thie who, after all, is 11 years older and has a PB of 3:37!
Rebecca Linney easily got through her two preliminary rounds of the 800m, but lost out in a close final, running 2:09.42 for 5th in a race won in 2:06.  Ben Russell left the mud behind, and ran a PB 8:48.72 for 3000m in his heat, then slightly slower in the final.  The experience will have done him good - it's time for his PBs to be shattered!
It was quite a lazy meet for our multi-eventer Mike Sweeney - only 4 competitions: 8.72secs for 60mH, 6th in the High Jump with a good 2.01m, a new PB of 4.50m for 5th place in the Pole Vault, and 11.71m in the Shot.
Back to your studies now please!
