22-year-old clocks the fastest 20km time by a British athlete in Britain, while Amy Hunt wasn’t the only athlete to impress in Mannheim

While the Prefontaine Classic action from Stanford can be read about here, the Watford BMC Grand Prix here, and Amy Hunt’s record-breaking run in Mannheim here, there were numerous other top-class performances worldwide and on British shores over the weekend.

British Grand Prix of Race Walking, June 29

Callum Wilkinson produced the fastest 20km performance by a British athlete in Britain when he beat training partner Tom Bosworth to victory at the British Grand Prix of Race Walking in Leeds on Saturday.

The 22-year-old 10km British record-holder clocked a course record of 81:46 at Roundhay Park as he not only beat the man who has won this event for the past three years but also won the national title and secured his spot on the British team for the IAAF World Championships later this year.

Bosworth also booked his Doha place. Although his time of 84:10 for second was outside of the world qualifying mark, the Commonwealth silver medallist had already produced the required standard earlier this year.

“This is my first national title and to win it in Leeds in front of my friend is extra special,” said Wilkinson.

Italian Teodorico Caporaso (84:33) took third overall, while British under-23 50km record-holder Cameron Corbishley was fourth (third in the British race) in 84:42.

The women’s race was won by Pembrokeshire Harriers’ Heather Lewis in 94:49, ahead of Cardiff’s Bethan Dayies (96:59) and Erika Kelly (1:42:54). The winning time was outside the Doha qualifying mark of 93:30, however.
