JACK Shayler came a superb second when competing in the European Triathlon Union Championships at Strathclyde.

After the 750m swim, 20k bike ride and 5k run, the Abingdon AC member won gold in the under 20 age group and recorded the second fastest time overall of 1hr 3min 30secs.

He is now looking forward to competing in next year’s world championship in Lausanne, Switzerland for which he has already qualified.

Meanwhile Abingdon’s Olivia Martin continued her fine form with fourth place in the under 15 1500m at the SEAA Southern junior meeting at Lea Valley

Her time of 4.52.01 was just outside her personal best.

Tia Brown claimed the sprint double for Bicester AC’s in the second round of the Oxfordshire Junior League at Banbury.

Brown equalled her personal best of 13.0secs in winning the girls’ under 17 100 metres, with clubmate teammate Rushani Arumugham running a season’s best to take the B-string in 14.3.

She recorded another pb when winning the A-string 200m in 28.20.

This was another event that Bicester dominated, with Charlotte Hewett landing the B event in 31.70.

Not content with these successes, Brown took the B long jump with a leap of 4.21m.

This time she was outshone by Arumugham, who finished runner-up in the A string with 4.36.

Bicester’s Ebony Rose Lennon also acquired the winning habit as she took the 800 metres in a season’s best of 3mins 6.10secs.

Amber Parker starred again in the under 15 throwing events.

This time, the Bicester youngster claimed wins in the shot (8.97) and discus (22.31), both of which were national grade 4 efforts.

Anna Kelly, of White Horse Harriers, triumphed in the under 17 1500m in a time of 5.24.0.

The tireless Tony Lock, of Witney Road Runners, enjoyed a successful weekend in Ireland, culminating in a high finish at the Dublin Half Marathon on Sunday.

Lock kicked off on Saturday by winning the Fairview Park Run in the Irish capital in a veteran 50-54 age group record time of 19mins 10secs.

The following day, he completed the Dublin Half Marathon in an excellent 1hr 25mins 12secs, coming 112th out of 5,710 runners.

He was also eighth out of 600 in his age group.
