READING star Jonathan Davies claimed victory in the one mile race at last Wednesday’s Manchester International meeting.

The event saw teams from England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland & Ulster, British Athletics, Denmark and a combined British Athletics League/UK Women’s League team go head-to-head, with the victor in each discipline scoring maximum points for their team.

Competing in unfavourable conditions on a cold and windy evening, 2015 European U23 cross country champion Davies dug in deep to take the tape in 4:16.48, with victory coming by more than a second from Nick Jensen.
