He ran superbly in a brilliant final of the under-15 60m hurdles to secure a personal best time of 8.62sec.

The first four athletes in the race all clocked new bests.

Elliott’s time puts him in the top 20 UK all-time performances and it was the fastest any under-15 athlete has ever run and only finished third.
