Southern’s

Up in the Lee valley indoor arena Charlie Grice and Dan Stepney were seeing what winter speed they had in running in the South of England Indoor 1500m Championship. Dan ran a PB 4.00 in the heat but came up just short in making it to the final, a good run all the same. Charlie having the luxury of a straight final in the Under 20 men’s 1500m slowly squeezed the life out of the opposition winning in a time of 3.54
