NEWPORT’S Mica Moore had to settle for second place in the 60m final at the Welsh Athletics Senior Championships.

Hannah Brier, Moore’s Glasgow 2014 4x100m relay teammate, claimed her first senior indoor title as she set a new Welsh under-20 record.

Despite having her arrival severely delayed by heavy traffic on the M4, the 16-year-old ran a new record of 7.46s in the semi-final to set up a thrilling final against Moore, who won her semi-final in 7.58.

Swansea Harriers’ Brier then went even quicker in the final, clocking 7.41s to lower the record she had set earlier in the day.

She broke Helen Miles' long-standing record set in January 1986 to move top of the UK under-20 rankings.

The teenager said: “It was a bit of a shock. I only managed to get a few light jogs in before the semi-final and I wasn’t sure I could run faster in the final, so I am very pleased.”

Second place Moore said: “I would have liked to have gone a bit quicker but I am not going to get too down about it. I'm pleased with second."

Sam Gordon took the men’s 60m final in a big personal best of 6.81s ahead of Cardiff AAC teammate Anax Da Silva.

Laura Maddox stepped up from 400m to win her first senior title over 800m. She produced a strong finish to clock a new personal best of 2:07:79.

In the men’s 800m David Banwell-Clode took advantage of the absence of Commonwealth Games athlete Joe Thomas and 2014 champion Tom Marshall to secure his first senior title with a very impressive run to clock 1:53:48.

Wales international Debo Ademuyewo was in superb form as he won the men’s 400m A final in 48.76s having qualified as fastest for the final with 49.29s.

A great battle in the women’s 400m saw Megan Rogers hold off the challenge of Deborah Willis and Rhiannon Linington-Payne to take the victory in 56.05s

In the field Lyndsey Maund retained her Welsh title as she finished second behind Edinburgh AC’s Courtney MacGuire with a best vault of 3.82m and Sian Swanson won the women’s triple jump with a best of 11.37m.

Christopher Hall was crowned Welsh long jump champion (6.67m) and in the high jump there were Welsh titles for Carmarthen Harriers’ Sophie Pick and Owen Chesher, who jumped a new indoor personal best of 1.96m.
