Pyers Lockwood from Bexhill took another gold medal this year representing England at the SIAB International Championship in Swansea in the 400m hurdles.

The 16-year-old ran yet another personal best time of 54.63 beating the competition from England, Scotland, Wales and the whole of Ireland. His closest challenger was his own England team mate who was some 0.8 seconds behind him at the finish line.

What started out a wet day in Wales, Lockwood was not phased by the weather and although it was still quite windy when he raced, at least the rain had passed.
