Competing in the England Age Group Combined Events Champs in Manchester, Philip Kastner took an outstanding silver medal in his first outing over the ten events.
Several PBs contributed to a decathlon score of 6044, which would place 3rd in the overall club all time lists for the equivalent senior level event. PBs included a 42.44m discus, 13.37m shot, 43.21m javelin and 2.97 pole vault. The jumps and hurdles were hampered a little by a slight injury sustained during English Schools, but two near misses at 1.86m in the high jump and a “safe” 6.22m in the long jump hint at greater things to come.
