Davis, 19, placed fifth in the individual 100m event, recording 10.87 against a headwind. “I wasn’t totally happy with my individual performance, but it is early in the season and I should not be peaking yet,” Davis commented.

“I’m happy that we worked really well as a team and were able to get the baton round cleanly and take the win.”

Earlier in the week, Davis had contested his first 100m event of the season at the Lee Value Sprint Open, recording 10.71. Honing his speed at the same meeting, middle-distance specialist Gilad Nachshen, 14, reduced his 200m PB by more than a second to 24.25.

Hannah Viner moved to the top of the UK U23 rankings for the distance when she completed the Mid-Cheshire 5K in 16:44. Highgate Harrier Viner placed ninth overall.
