CITY of York Athletic Club hurdler Chelsea Walker struck gold twice at the Northern Under-20 and Senior Championships in Manchester.

Walker doubled up for 100m and 400m U20 glory at the Lancashire-hosted event, setting new personal bests in both events and moving to number one ranking in the UK for the longer discipline.

Shot-putter Scott Lincoln, meanwhile, also stayed top of the UK under-23 rankings by a metre, winning the Northern title with a throw of 17.92m.

Paul Allsopp also returned to javelin action after missing the last two years and won with 62.91m, while Sarah Parsons continued her return from a broken ankle last year to win silver in the discus and Danny Fleming finished second too in the U20 discus.

Another personal best for Becky Campsall of 11.89 seconds landed her bronze in the 100m.

York's athletes are now preparing for the National U23 and U20 Championships in Bedford this weekend.
