Sam Sanusi improved his career best in the heat and final of the under-17 boys' 60m hurdles to win gold and break an eight-year-old club record with the second-fastest time in the UK this winter.

Jacob Blanc took bronze in the same race, before Sanusi returned to win long jump silver ahead of bronze medalist Denzel Achi on Sunday.

Paris King recovered from a poor semi-final to win the under-15 hurdles gold, improving her own club record in doing so.

And Chloe Williams returned from a maternity break to add senior hurdles gold with the third-fastest time of her career.

Jude Ogundare smashed his 60m best to win under-13 boys' gold with the second-fastest time in the UK this winter, adding silver in the shot for good measure.

And there were bronze medals for Karis Thomas and Ridwan Salaam in the under-17 60m sprints, both in personal bests.

Thomas added 200m silver in another career best, while Richard Akinbeyo improved his previous mark on the way to under-20 200m gold.
