Jessica Judd (Club: Blackburn / Loughborough Students, Coach: Mick Judd) set the tone for the English team in the 1500m, one of the early track races of the evening, by making a break from the start and never looking back. Judd, winner of the English title on the same track a few weeks ago, had Scotland’s Commonwealth Youth champion Erin Wallace (Coach: Dudley Walker, Club: Giffnock North) hot on her tail, with Wales’ Beth Kidger (Coach: Joel Kidger, Club: Brighton Phoenix) a further ten yards back. But there was no response when Judd surged with two laps to run; from there her lead only grew as she recorded an impressive 4:11.96 win.
