WARRINGTON Athletics Club runners won medals in baking hot conditions at the North of England Age Group Championships in Liverpool.
Lewis Shaw collected silver in the under 15s boys' 80m hurdles at Wavertree Stadium, while Evie Elliott – a second-claim runner for Warrington AC – collected bronze in the 75m hurdles in the same age group.
Shaw, who is ranked top in the UK, missed out on gold to his arch-rival Luke Pichler from Blyth on the run-in from the final hurdle with the times being 11.28secs and 11.32secs.
He went into the event upon return from a fortnight's holiday in USA and Mexico, meaning he had little training in preparation.
Elliott, coached by Warrington's Neal Petley but running for Bury AC, clocked 12.15secs – just outside her personal best time – to achieve her bronze.
Esme Heavey was fourth in the under 15s girls' 1500m in 4mins 50.26secs, just over a second outside of her best time.
Euan Lawton finished third in his time trial and 10th overall in the under 13s boys' 800m in a personal best 2mins 24.66secs.
In the same event, Oliver Davenport won his time trial in a personal best 2mins 32.74secs to finish 17th overall.
Tallie Wing Lam Sze competed in three events in the under 13s age group.
Making her debut in the 100m, she reached the final where she finished eighth in 13.99secs.
She also reached the final of the 200m, finishing seventh in 29.09secs just outside her personal best.
Tallie was 10th in the long jump with 4.02metres.
Also running in the 100m was Olivia Crawford, who finished fifth in her semi-final in 13.95secs.
In the under 13s girls' 800m, Eva Hayes finished sixth in her time trial in 2mins 48.62secs.
Meanwhile, Warrington AC's Louise Blizzard represented Cheshire Police in 37 degrees heat in the National Police and Civil Service Championships held at Pingles Stadium in Nuneaton.
She was seventh overall in the 5000m, which placed her fifth in the police, second in the masters championship and first over 45 with her time of 21mins 50.22secs.
Two Warrington AC athletes took part in the Airport City Manchester Sale Sizzler 5k road race, with Jordan Jones finishing fifth in 15mins 24secs while Steve Burthem was 178th in 20mins 19secs to place second over 60.
Burthem also took part in the Pie and Peas Trail Race at The Royal British Legion, Moulton, finishing the five miles race in 42nd place in 33mins 17secs to win the over 60s age group.
Another two of the club's runners featured in the latest edition of the Trafford Athletic Club Distance Grand Prix at Longford Stadium.
In the 800metres series, under 17 Ben Pucill was sixth in his race with 2mins 02.61secs while in the 1500m series under 20 Orla Gregory crossed the line ninth in her race in 4mins 43.36secs.
