Results<\/a><\/p>\n Alessandro Schenini<\/strong> leapt to the British title at sun-kissed Alexander Stadium on a day of strong Scottish performances in Birmingham.<\/p>\n The long jumper reached 7.85m in his first round effort and it was never headed as the Giffnock North AC athlete claimed gold.<\/p>\n Nick Percy<\/strong> took silver in the Men\u2019s discus and that should be enough to clinch his place in the World Champs.<\/p>\n Making it three field medals on the opening day, there was a fine bronze in the Women\u2019s Triple Jump as Silver Nwabuzor<\/strong> came up with a big PB performance at 12.90m windy.<\/p>\n In the Para events, Scottish guide runner Greg Kelly<\/strong> helped James Ledger<\/strong> to silver in the 100m ambulant race.<\/p>\n \u2018I won a bronze in Manchester last year, so I\u2019ve been manifesting a gold for the last few weeks,\u2019 said Alessandro, coached by Ally Strange, <\/strong>and who won by four cms from Archie Yeo\u2019s 7.81m.<\/p>\n \u2018I am buzzing. It is an unreal feeling to have this gold medal around my neck. I have been thinking about it for a couple of years now, so to get it done is just class.<\/p>\n \u2018I opened up with 7.85m, which was good enough to win it. I am sort of glad because I kept getting cramp, so I didn\u2019t have much else left in me. But despite that, in the last round it is probably the best atmosphere I have ever jumped in, so I really enjoyed it.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Nick had to defer to Lawrence Okoye<\/strong> on the day and wasn\u2019t satisfied with his distance for second place \u2013 58.95m.<\/p>\n \u2018I am disappointed with the distance but today was about doing the job having already got the standard,\u2019 said Nick, with Andrew Peck<\/strong> at 53.25 in the same comp. Okoye won it with a Championship Record 65.93m.<\/p>\n \u2018I had to come in the top two, so that ticked the box. Job is done, so it is back to work, so we do better than that in Tokyo.<\/p>\n It is amazing to be back in Birmingham, and everything was set up well \u2013 it would have been nice to bring a performance which fit the occasion. We are all our harshest critics, but I\u2019m proud to be here and competing.\u2019<\/p>\n Photo: Getty Images for British Athletics<\/strong><\/p>\n Silver Nwabuzor<\/strong> started the medals in Scottish terms with a superb bronze in the Women\u2019s Triple Jump.<\/p>\n With the top two beyond 13m, Silver pushed close to that with a windy leap of 12.90m which was a big improvement on her PB.<\/p>\n \u2018I am so happy to be on the podium at the UK Champs,\u2019 said the VP-Glasgow athlete who is coached by David Watson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u2018I have been trying all season for 13m or close to that distance so to get a PB today felt fantastic. I will keep pushing to jump further and hard work and good coaching by David will hopefully pay off at some point.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Rachel Callan<\/strong> was the first Scot to appear in the Alexander Stadium \u2013 and it was a good start with the strong second place in the Women\u2019s 400m Hurdles.<\/p>\n The Giffnock North AC athlete, with a run of 61.02, thus qualified for the final on Sunday.<\/p>\n Bradley Francis<\/strong> missed out on progression while, in the field, Greg Millar<\/strong> was 12th in the men\u2019s javelin.<\/p>\n But our women sprinters were brilliant out of the blocks in the 100m heats.<\/p>\n Alisha Rees<\/strong> led the way with SB 11.73 to go through automatically and that set the tone \u2013 with Orkney athlete, Taylah Paterson<\/strong>, clocking 11.66 for a PB to progress, too,<\/p>\n Making it four from four in terms of reaching the semi-finals were Charlotte Bevan<\/strong> (11.94) and Lucy Fraser<\/strong> (11.85).<\/p>\n Come the semis and all unfortunately missed out with Taylah fastest at another PB of 11.65 for fourth in her race. Adam Thomas<\/strong> missed out on a final place after a 10.38 run in the semis.<\/p>\n Caleb McLeod<\/strong> and Jamie Phillips<\/strong> took on the Men\u2019s 800m but it was a tough ask with only the top two assured of going through. Caleb clocked 1:49.59 and Jamie was at 1:49.69.<\/p>\n But there was a double qualification in the Women\u2019s 800m. Hannah Cameron<\/strong> was fifth in her race at 2:05.52 and that was enough to go through after the second heat had concluded with a \u00a0win for Jemma Reekie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Tags:<\/strong>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2228191241-1-1024x656.jpg\")
