Jordon West's sizzling summer continued in impressive style when the 16-year-old Cornwall Athletic Club middle distance star won the Peter Coe mile in the Nike Grand Prix meeting, organised by the British Milers Club, at Crystal Palace.
Jordon, the current English Schools Intermediate Boys 800-metre champion, not only won by over a second, beating a group of Under-20 athletes but also eclipsed the 14-year-old Under-17 county mile record, previously held by none other than international runner Neil Caddy. Jordon knocked over three and a half seconds off the record, clocking 4 minutes 19.4.
At the same meeting, another top ranking Cornwall Athletic Club athlete, Martyn Moon, achieved an excellent result in the 800 metres, crossing the line in 2 minutes 7.76 seconds, a National Grade One standard and agonisingly eight hundredths of a second outside his personal best, set in May.
