February 24-26: MMK athletes at the British Universities’ Indoor Championships
(At least) Seven MMK athletes were in action at the British Universities’ Championships in Sheffield.
In the 60m, Ebony Carr was on fine form, winning her heat and semi-final with much improved times. In the final she could not quite match her semi-final performance, finishing seventh. David Boakye progressed to the semi-finals with his third-best-ever time, but could not progress further.
Hannah McLaughlin ran a personal best in the 400m but only the top two in each of the ten heats plus the four fastest losers progressed to the semi-finals.
In the Triple Jump, both Shawn Ampofo and Lateefah Agberemi progressed to their Finals, with Lateefah achieving a lifetime best to top her pool. In the Final Lateefah recorded 12.05m for sixth place, while Shawn jumped 13.95m, also for sixth place.
Mia Soman added 3cm to her lifetime best in the Pole Vault.
