Street runners win gold silver and bronze

Young sprinters from Sutton scooped a trio of medals in the finals of a street athletics final organised by 100m legend Linford Christie.

Linford welcomed winners from the Sutton Street Athletics heat held in June as part of the 2014 Active Ashfield games, to the National Street Athletics final in Manchester at the weekend.

Will Bradley was one of the runners making a huge impact in the competition, sprinting to his victory in the U15 Boys 60 metre sprint.

Jared Bailey competed in the U13 Boys category, coming third in the final.

Coun Chris Baron, Leader of Ashfield District Council, said: “What a fantastic result for the team.
