In the women’s 100m heat, Daryll Neita (Marco Airale, Cambridge Harriers) qualified through as fourth quickest overall thanks to her time of 11.02 (-0.2) to win heat three with ease. Olympic and world silver medallist, England’s Keely Hodgkinson (Trevor Painter, Leigh) started her 800m campaign in Birmingham with a comfortable victory in the third and final heat to qualify for the final. 12.94m in the shot put kept her in the lead before a scintillating 200m, the time 23.70 (0.4), saw her extend her advantage over the rest of the field. Olympian, Okoye finished the qualification pools in third place overall after a best of 63.79m, while Scotland’s Percy and Jersey’s Duquemin finished inside the top seven.

Meanwhile, Zeller – who finished fifth in his maiden world final last month – clocked 13.35 (1.3) for second in heat two and moves into the final as the third fastest qualifier from the heats. Elsewhere, Alastair Chalmers (Matt Elias, Guernsey) booked his spot in the men’s 400m hurdles final after he clocked 50.39 to earn one of the next fastest non-automatic qualifier spots. The Scottish athlete took on the pace of the race midway through the contest, but as the Uganda and Kenyan athletes accelerated in the last couple of kilometres, Butchart could not live with the tempo but still finished in a solid time. England’s Molly Caudery (Scott Simpson, Thames Valley) achieved the silver medal in the women’s pole vault final to win her first major senior medal. Back on the track, Andrew Butchart (Gary Lough, Central) was the sole home nation’s finisher in the men’s 10,000m final as he posted a time of 27:53.57 for seventh spot. Before the competition got underway, Olympic bronze medallist Holly Bradshaw (Scott Simpson, Blackburn Harriers) sadly had to withdraw due to injury.
