OXFORD City's Darrell Bellinger finished a creditable fifth place in the 1500m at the BMC Grand Prix meeting in Watford.
Up against a strong field of under 23 athletes, Bellinger ran a controlled race to come from the back of the pack of 13 to clock a personal best time of 3.54.51 - more than two seconds ahead of his previous best for the distance.
He is now looking forward to competing in the Senior South of England Championships in Kent this weekend.
