THERE was a small haul of two medals, one gold, one bronze and a top-four finish from the small contingent of five Havering Mayesbrook club athletes taking part at the weekend's National Indoor Age-Group Championships at Birmingham.

Alex Law confirmed his UK top ranking with a gold medal-winning performance in the U17 long jump.

The 16-year-old Hall Mead student improved his lifetime best to 6.81m in the fifth round to clinch the title by 8cm from Cambridge Harriers' Tobi Adeniyi. Only Josh Olawore has jumped further among club U17s.

Law competed, despite a tight hamstring, which was further strained during the competition, which forced him to withdraw from the 60m hurdles.

It makes him a doubt for this weekend's National Indoor Combined Events championships, at Sheffield, where he was also a medal hope.

Josh Olawore repeated his bronze medal-winning performance from last year in the U20 long jump. His 6.98m fourth-round effort was a season's best.

Olawore later improved his 60m hurdles personal-best record to 8.40sec, but was unable to progress in a high quality competition.

Modupe Shokunbi performed brilliantly in her first national competition.

After winning her U15 60m heat, she improved her club record to 7.94sec in finishing second in her semi-final and was edged out of the medals in the final, finishing fourth in 7.98sec.
