A group of three, including Mccarney, broke away at 600m and
when the pace slowed at the bell, Mccarney powered away to win.
Joel Cantrill judged his pace well to win at the same distance by eight seconds in 4.46.26.
Zara Acton threw a season’s best 36.05m in ther discus, then won the shot with 10.75, while her brother Ben won both shot and discus.
