At Lee Valley last weekend it was the turn of the younger age groups to check how their winter training is progressing at the London Indoor Games.

the summer. Also recording a swift time over 60m was Princes Asemota who set a new pb of 8.19 in the under 15 girls age group, ranking her 29th in the UK this winter. There were also a number of personal bests and seasons bests over 60m from Evie Cameron (8.79),
