Mansfield Harriers Paige Roadley and Jordan Boam travelled to the Juliska Stadium in Prague with the British Police team to compete in the European Police Track and Field Championships, writes Richard Massey.

After a minor operation in June, it’s been a race against time for Paige with limited training since but, going into it ranked fourth, she ran the race of her life to take a silver medal over 800m in 2.23.4.

Jordan was in the strongest field over the two day competition, which included a French athlete who was ranked 12th in the world this year over 800 and had made the semi-finals in the world championship the week before. Jordan pushed the pace early on to ensure a honest race and was rewarded with a near four second personal best of 4.10.05 in 10th.

A group of young athletes travelled to Loughborough for the season’s final Charnwood Open Meeting.

Xander Arbon launched the Javelin to 21.86m with sister Amelia recording a PB in the 300 in 46.55, and recorded 2.34.7 for the 800, and 8.69m in the Triple Jump.

Also racing the 800, Florence Kenney recorded 2.32.58 and Charley Whysall 2.43.97.
