THE BRITISH under-15 800m scene has continued to sparkle in 2016 with the record books being re-written on three occasions.
For a second time it’s 14-year-old Max Burgin who took the honour, improving his previous best of 1:54.36 from June to 1:53.2 at the British Milers’ Club (BMC) race at Chester-le-Street on July 25, having already bettered Pattison’s 1:54.52 from the BMC PB Classic at the start of May.
The clash between Burgin and rival Pattison, first and second in the age record books, at the English Schools lived up to expectations with the former taking the glory of his first school title.
