Worksop Harriers' Alicia Wells won a Heptathlon silver medal in the Midland Counties AA Championships at Nuneaton over the weekend, writes John Harrison.

Alicia had a good first day, recording Heptathlon PBs in the 80m hurdles (12.66s) and the High Jump (1.59m).

She then recorded 9.58m in the Shot and 28.12s in the 200m to be the overnight leader.

Unfortunately, an ongoing niggle restricted Alicia’s ability to compete fully on the Sunday, but that strong first day meant she still finished in second.

It was time for another bout of club competition on Wednesday night as the Harriers headed over to Kimberworth for the latest round of Grand Prix racing at the Scholes Coppice Race, part of the KMR series.

Hosted by Rotherham Harriers this time, the race was 3.5 miles and two undulating trail laps up to Keppels Column before down through the woodland of the Coppice.
