Roberts is fastest U15 boy in the UK over 3,000m this year
Eastbourne Rovers athlete Byron Roberts travelled to Watford to race in the 3000m in one of their famous open track nights.
He was seeded in the quickest race with older runners and paced the race with confidence, strength and determination.
Crossing the finish line in an extremely fast time of 8min,45sec, Byron is now the fastest under-15 in the UK this year at the distance, a clear sic seconds ahead of the next fastest athlete and shattering the Sussex county record.
This time also firmly places Byron on the 3000m all-time U15 list in fourth place, faster than Sir Mo Farah ran at the same age.
