  21&22 June 2008 ENGLAND ATHLETICS U23 CHAMPIONSHIPS & WORLD JUNIOR TRIALS - BEDFORD


Stoke AC's crop of outstanding juniors excelled themselves in tough competition to set themselves up for World Junior Championships places.

Ashlee Nelson totally dominated her the 100m and 200m with excellent performances in blustery conditions.

Ben Williams absolutely smashed the rest of the U20 field with an enormous 15.76m triple jump to go second on the UK U17 all time list!

Andy Marsh finished second in the Pole Vault with an equal height with the winner. Andy has already achieved a World Juniors qualifying height so he may be selected anyway.

Chelsea Cooper continued on her fantastic comeback trail, narrowly beating the equally talented Alice Lennox as they finished 2nd and 3rd with excellent long jumps.

Martin Bartholomew putted an absolutely monster pb 16.55m shot for a well deserved bronze in the shot.

In the U23 age-group Emma Jackson also returned to form with a strong performance to comfortably win the 800m.
