The 2018 winners of the Daniel Sacks Awards for Outstanding Young Athletic Achievement are  Jack Davis-Black, Jayden Klein and 
Millie Aslan.

London Heathside middle-distance runner Davis-Black, now 14, has enjoyed an exceptional season over track, road and cross-country.

After placing fifth in his age group in the Middlesex cross-country championships and leading home his Islington Borough team in the Virgin London mini-marathon, Davis-Black went on to triple gold medal success on the track.

Representing his school JCOSS, he beat stiff competition to win the Barnet Schools 1,500m title. In August he took both the 800m and 1,500m titles at the JCC Maccabi Games in Orange County,  USA, setting personal bests of 2:20.9 and 4:44.7 respectively.
