Squeezed between the Commonwealths and Europeans, I am still hoping for some break out performance...

I thought I would get the ball rolling. Just trawled through PO10 and spotted a new PB for AHW in the 200M in Kettering on the 2nd August of 20.86 -
On Saturday at the Flanders Cup meeting in Kessel-Lo (BEL), Georgina Adam ran a massive PB - 22.92 (+0.5), winning over Jamile Samuel 23.07 & Cynthia Bolingo, 23.24.
Seamus Derbyshire won the 400H in 49.64.
It wasn't live streamed.Comment

Yo, that is a great run from Adam! It's been on the cards after her previous PB run at the UK U20/U23 Championships in July. Though it was "only" 23.40, it was also her first race outdoors this season due to injury and to race a PB in those circumstances suggested that with a few more races under her belt, she'd be able to go a fair bit faster, and this result appears to prove the case. It would have been easily fast enough to go under the European Championship standard for 200m, but of course it's come too late for Adam to be considered. But it is good to see her development moving in the right direction following her junior days which were somewhat over shadowed by Amy Hunt's emergence and performances.
As for Seamus, I think he's showing the England selectors what they were missing out on by not having him on the team at the CWG. -
SD was named for the England team…not sure how the admin cock up happened…he seems to be the only athlete who didn’t get the link to fill in his details…I’m guessing ENG team management will say it was him not completing it. You’d have thought they’d check before the deadline, but seemingly not. -
Derbyshire is maddeningly inconsistent, mind. Clearly talented, but DNFs a lot and also (somehow) false started at the U23s...

Jahisha Thomas had a good series in Hungary today. She jumped a barely windy (2.1) 6.63 for 3rd place so goes into the european championships in reasonable shape.Comment

AHW comes 4th in Hungary in 45.65 from lane 8.Comment

I have mentioned Thomas Keen on here before. Well he has set two new PBS in the last week. On the 6th August hes set a new PB in the 1500M of 3:38:92 then 4 days later he ran 3:37:70 at the BMC meet in Watford. A near 4 second improvement on his PB thus far this year. Still an U23 next year.Comment

Finishing lower down at the BMC in 5th place in a new PB of 3:41:80 was William Battershill. I mention this because that maps across to his 3000M S/C quite nicely and indicates if he could get in a fast run race he could go well under 8:30, a lowish 8:21/22 is not out of the question.Comment

Some fast running in the mens 800M at the Watford BMC meet on the 10th August for James McMurray 1:46:96 (PB), Daniel Howells 1:47:08 (PB) and Ben Murphy 1:47:17 (PB) We now have 58 sub 1:50 performers versus 61 last year.Comment

Geogina Adam has improved her 400m PB by 2.5 seconds running 52.73 on the 10th August.Comment

Serena Vincent has set a 16.67 PB in the shot. She’s still only 20 and that puts her marginally ahead of Oladipo at the same age.
I’ve not seen much of her but she’s very athletic - ex runner. I’ve only ever seen her glide - anyone know if she’s gone rotational?Comment
