Saturday mainly held heats and field events although it did feature both 200 metre finals in what showed a bright future for the sport with the youngsters shining in both categories.
The men's 200 metres was built around Danny Talbot who had started his season brightly after his victory in Glasgow but it was german Sven Knipphals who surprised all a student at Bournemouth university took the quickest qualifying time of 21.14 seconds ahead of Talbot and then winning the final in 21.3 seconds, Talbot however was unable to feature in the final due to a slight hamstring strain.
Margaret Adeoye again showed what credentials she has taking the women's 200m title. Adeoye took the race from the first 50m and a powerful finish ensured her a life time best of 23.36 seconds ahead of Trafford's Louise Bloor and Katherine Endacott.
Non Track Events saw Shana Proctor produce a sensational performance in the women's long jump just 2 inches off the British Record landing a 6.68 jump maybe giving herself a chance of a medal come Istanbul. However the biggest cheer from the crowd came when Jessica Ennis competed in the high jump showing her multi talents reaching 1.91 to take another title to her name and only just 4 centre metres off her best, Ennis looked in fine form and delighted with the height finishing the day on a high. (excuse the pun...)
