More news from the Indoors scene - Birmingham Games - 4/5 Feb

On the first day, it was good to see James Hunter in the 400m, running 50.18secs - a long way outside his PB, but it's been some time since he raced.
Day Two saw Jack Meredith following up his 8.01secs in the 60mH at Sheffield with times of 8.06 in his heat and 8.07 in the final where, worryingly, he was again beaten by Andi Pozzi (who recorded a PB 7.62secs).... but it's early season and there's a long way to go.
In the Pole Vault, Rachael Thomas was 3rd, just short of her PB, with 3.45m, and Michael Hartley high-jumped 1.93m to follow his 1.95 in the Northern Championships.
But the highlights for Liverpool Harriers both came in the 800m races.  In the U15 race, Abigail Linney shot away from the starting line, opened a big gap, and won by a distance, in a time of 2:22.81, just outside her outdoor PB.  Her "big sister" Rebecca (U23) was 4th in the Senior race, after trying to stay with the pace... her reward was a time of 2:07.58 - a new PB indoors or outdoors!
