RADLEY’S Kathryn Woodcock said she was delighted to throw a personal best at the British Championships in Birmingham.

The 19-year-old, who studies at Loughborough University, came seventh in the women’s discus with an effort of 47.45m at the Alexander Stadium.

As a result, Woodcock has moved up to second in the under 20 rankings and ninth in the women’s standings.

She had qualified for the event after winning silver at the Under 23 & Under 20 National Championships in Bedford.

“I wasn’t really happy with my series, but delighted with the 47-metre throw,” she said.

“I have been waiting for that for a long time.”

Clubmate Henry Tufnell was 11th in his 1,500m heat, but injury ended his hopes.

“It was a fantastic experience, but unfortunately my hamstring went in the last 150.”

Alice Hopkins, also of Radley, came seventh in her 100m hurdles heat.

l Abingdon finished first in both the men's and women's competitions at the third round of the Southern Counties Veterans' League.

With one Western Division match remaining at Tilsley Park on July 11, they are bidding to reach the final at Ashford on September 4.

l Paul Fernandez, of Abingdon, took victory at the Thame 10k.

The vet 40 runner crossed the line in 33.38.

l Alec Vessey, also of Abingdon, smashed his personal best in the 3,000m at the British Milers Club regional meeting at Tipton.

In the A race, Vessey finished tenth in 9.07.4, 28 seconds better than his previous best.
