Junior girls, Emily Deeming and Lily Winfield, were in midweek action across the county border in Nottinghamshire this week as both continued their summers of improvement with personal bests.

Despite being sent the wrong way at the second race in the Nottingham 5k Summer Race Series, Emily went on to win the ladies race by over a minute. Emily, who has recently set personal bests over 200m, 800m and 1500m, clocked another as she crossed the line seventh overall in 21:57.

Lily hit the Harvey Hadden track on Thursday night for the Tim Wealthall Mile and duly delivered another personal best. Lily currently sits inside the UK U13 top-20 over 1500m and she showed her strength over the 109 or so metres more to stop the clock at 5:27.7. Indeed, in the fifth of seven seeded races on the night, Lily was the second-fastest female overall.
