TOBY HARRIES notched a UK under-17 200m best at the England Indoor Athletics championships in Sheffield.

Harries, from Chichester, plays rugby for most of the week and trains specifically for athletics just a handful of times a month.

He took gold and broke Tim Benjamin’s 17-year-old UK best by 0.05 of a second, clocking 21.46 in his first-ever indoor championships. He also earned bronze in the 60m.
