Stand out performance for the Harriers on the day was the run of young Joe Monk coming in 47th overall in a time of 34.26 and taking the Male Juniors First Prize to boot. Joe was sitting in 12th position in the National U17 Rankings due to his 35.42 at the Welcome Tavern 10k in January. His PB at Salford took him up to 4th which is a tremendous achievement for the 16yr old.
