Competing for Belgrave Harriers in the British League Premiership clash in Windsor, he took advantage of a 1.9m/s following wind, although having been promoted to the A-race after the late withdrawal of Wade Bennett-Jackson (ill) he wasn't able to make an impression in a race that saw the local ground record and League record broken.
Jason Hussain recovered his basic speed to record
a lifetime's best 100m at Windsor
"Jason has been exploring the idea of moving up to 400m this year, but he has returned to speed work this last week or so, and it's clearly paid off," said coach John Powell.The latest addition to Trackspeed1, Loughborough University student Matt Threadgold, clocked the second fastest 400m of his life in the same fixture, timing 49.18s with a gutsy B-race effort, although both athlete and coach were insistent there is far more to come.
"I know I am worth at least 48.mid's right now, and reckon well under 48 is easily on the cards next year," he said after the race.
Meanwhile, further north, David Bolarinwa was busy maintaining his sensational unbeaten record this year over 100m in Leeds, competing for Cambridge Harriers in their British League division 3 fixture. David clocked 10.70 to win, following up with a winning 21.57s 200m.
The meeting marked the beginning of the most important period of the talented young sprinter's life. On Wednesday he runs at Lee Valley in an open 100m trial, and then travels to Singapore on Monday 9th for the World Youth Olympic Games.
"It's really exciting times for David," said Powell, "but it's all about keeping your feet on the ground right now, because no medal is guaranteed - it has to be earned."
