Andrew Mellon ran 49.45 secs at the Olympic Stadium, finishing 4th in the 400m at the UK School Games, breaking Ken Thompson’s 30 year plus Club U17 400m record and moving into the Top 5 UK list on Power of Ten. Alex Catherwood jumped later and was 5th in HJ with 1.60m. Alex is now comfortable at 1.60m and still looking for consistency at the next level although she did clear 1.62m a week ago at Bangor in the County Down Schools Districts. Andrew ran again when he opened for the Northern Ireland team in the 4 x 100m relay. Northern Ireland were 7th in 44.42 sec.
