Scotland's Sarah Inglis (handicap -1.3) with her 32:23 PB winning performance in Canada is now 22nd on the all time list sitting between Zola Budd (32:20) and Yvonne Murray-Mooney (32:24).
At Loughborough, the best student distance runners contested the BUCS 10,000m Championships, where Petros Surafel (handicap -4.9) prevailed in the men’s race with an impressive 29.26.57 ahead of Jake Smith (handicap -4.9) in 29:30.64. Both were lifetime bests.
