The athlete now studying at the University of Wisconsin was second in a mile race in 4:12.26 - a new record for an MK athlete. A week later at an indoor meeting at Bloomington, Indiana, Jack took eight seconds off the club indoor 3000m record set by Marcin Fudalej in 2011, recording 8:24.00.

Having spent most of 2019 nursing an injury, Tim Penley has started 2020 with a bang, adding 16cms to his Pole Vault personal best, recording 3.76m at an Indoor Meeting at Lee Valley. This adds 41cms to his Club M17 Indoor Record, set early last year.
