Cliff Temple Award for Female Athlete of the Year – Jemma Reekie

In the space of one astonishing February fortnight, Jemma set British indoor 800m, 1500m and mile records to announce herself on the global middle-distance scene.

Her indoor 800m mark of 1min 57.91sec was the fastest indoor time in the world since 2006 and she later set an 800m outdoor personal best to top this year’s British outdoor rankings.

“Thank you for all the support,’ said the 22-year-old from her training camp in South Africa.

‘It’s been great this year. I had such a difficult year so it’s nice to win the award. I am happy I even got to race this year and for all of them to be pretty good.  I am delighted to have won and happy for the support and the support next year as well.

‘I think I’ve got a lot to improve on and I can work on and I just push myself every year even harder and keep improving from that.”

Disappointment for Derek Hawkins in his marathon attempt in Valencia over the weekend.

Derek had hoped to improve on the PB he set in Germany a year ago, but an injury sustained three weeks ago proved costly with a tear on his Tibialis Anterior after sliding on leaves.
