Strong England debuts for PANVAC stars Seb and Tom, plus good club results elsewhere
PANVAC aces Seb Beedell & Thomas Preston made their England debuts at the Cardiff 5km last weekend.
Beedell finished 11th in a time of 14:38, just 18 seconds behind the winner. Irritatingly he just missed out on a cash prize, with payments made to the top 10 finishers.
Preston clocked a personal best time of 14:46 to finish 21st and the PANVAC pair were, impressively, the 2nd and 4th under 20s over the line.
The two city stars earned their first international calls after impressive performances for the successful PANVAC under 20 team.
