The 17-year-old ran a huge personal best of 1:45.36 to cut the tape in first place and secure automatic selection for the European Under-20 Championships in Borås, Sweden, whilst also shooting to the top of the British senior rankings and achieving the IAAF World Championships qualifying standard in the process.
