Wirral AC athlete Sam Lunt impressed as he reached the semi-finals of the men’s 400 metres at the British Indoor Athletics Championships.
And the 17-year-old finished third in his semi-final heat in a time of 48.36 seconds, but it was not quite enough to make it through to Sunday’s final.
Elsewhere, there were mixed results for Liverpool Harrier athletes.
Emma Alderson finishing 19th in the 400 metres, despite setting a season’s best of 56.37 seconds.
Stephanie Driscoll, who set a PB of 2:06.16 minutes, missed out on a place in the final, finishing 9th in the women’s 800m.
Daryll Neita and Reece Prescod won the men’s and women’s 60 metre sprints.
