Hide AdArguably the run of the day came at the Derby Half Marathon where club stalwart Jordan Boam had the race of his life to place 14th in a superb 75,17 a massive six minute personal best.
For good measure Boam also went through 10K in a new best time and will be looking forward to making a big step up at that distance soon. Andy Longmead placed 607th in 1.48.50 and Natasha Carver 676th in 1.50.38.
The two Mansfield athletes racing at the Doncaster 10K both performed fantastically, getting close to personal best times.
Gary Berzins was just nine seconds away from his, recording 35.34 to place 54th and agonisingly Sarah Bradbury just one second out from her best, recording 49.36 to finish 688th.
