Lauren Scott ran 5:00.13 in a tough heat 4 of the women’s mile at the Meyo Invitational (indoor) meet at Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana this Saturday 2 February. Lauren racing in the black and gold colours of the University of Iowa, was slightly dissapointed that her race (seeded with fast runners) was run tactical and slow (until the last 400). Lauren races 3k next weekend.
Nearer home, in Cardiff, Jordan Stokes competed in another tactical encounter but came out tops with a slender win in 4:03.80 after hitting 800 in 2:13 – in the Welsh Athletics open grand prix indoor 1500m.
