European Champion..? UPDATE!

European Champion...?

Charlie Grice ran a well executed, tactical run in his heat to finish second in 3: 39.1 ensuring he runs in the Final today (Sunday).

Phoenix athletes have done well at the European Championships in the past. Steve Ovett, in the years before he formed Phoenix won two silvers at 800m and gold at 1500m. Second claim member Sally Gunnell won a relay bronze and gold over the 400m hurdles. Mark Rowland won silver in a titanic race over 3000m steeplechase against Italian Francesco Panetta. In that race Mark ran his second fastest time ever clocking 8:13.27 a time which would see him nearly ten seconds clear of todays UK fastest chaser.

Good luck to Charlie Grice in the European Championships this week. He will be live on the BBC this afternoon!
