Croydon Harriers’ junior team enjoyed a solid runners-up finish at their latest UK Youth League 2nd division clash at Perivale.

Digby would also join relay success with Adam Shew, Luke Hill and Joachim Bambury triumphing in the Under 20 men’s 4x400m.

There was a clean-sweep in the sprints in the Under 20 women’s age group thanks to Davina Ansah and Kayla Bowley in the 100m, and Rhiannon Gayle and Nayana Brown in the 200m.
