Historic ‘Double Sprint Gold’ for LWAC at EA National Champs
Posted on: July 4, 2026 by Ian Boyle Share this postIt’s an LWAC double sprint gold at the England Athletics Championships in Bedford this weekend.
Firstly, a massive shout out to @mollie.grant27 for her 5th place finish in the U20W 800m alongside the likes of Olympian @phoebegll and @shaikiraking1.
@mabel_akande cruised through the heats and semi-final before taking the gold metres from the line in the final! Mabel adds a National title to her UKA bronze this year, and National U20 gold from last year at this competition.
Callum Winchester-Wright also safely negotiated the rounds to make the final, including a mighty 10.35s run in the semis. He went well clear in the final looking strong in the closing stages to add a National gold to his Northern champion title already this year.
Huge congratulations to these athletes, and their coaches, Marc Thorpe, Gary Johnson, Denise Timmis, and Terry Timmis.
More details to follow shortly…
