​Peterborough & Nene Valley AC hurdler Jack Wheatley had a great leap year in 2024 lowering his 110m hurdles best time on six occasions.

​And he has sprung into action again in 2025, setting a new personal best (PB) in Loughborough and then going even quicker at the same venue a few days later.

Sadly his latest run was wind assisted so won't be recognised in the record books.

After clocking 14.97 at the Charnwood Open the previous weekend the 18 yea-old was looking for another good time at the Loughborough Open Meeting.

He got it, crossing the line in a wind assisted time of 14.63.

Despite this he is currently sitting second in the national under 20 110m hurdles rankings and is looking to the season ahead with optimism.

Wheatley doubled up at Loughborough by also taking on the 100m. The wind was at a legal level at the time the race was run and his time of 11.58 was just a fraction of a second off his PB.

The 2025 indoor season was a success for Wheatley too, and he finished it ranked 11th in his national age group 60m Hurdles standings.

The speedy youngster is also a star at Fengate where he features as a flying winger for the Peterborough Rugby Club colts team.

Two more PANVAC under 20s were in action at Loughborough on Saturday.

Max Roe clocked 15.24 in the 110m hurdles while Felix Bowling ran a 2:02.93 800m.
