LUCY YATES helped herself to a double helping of success at the weekend to confirm her status as one of the top young athletes in the county.
Competing in the South East Series Junior Triathlon in Sussex on Saturday (August 17), the 12-year-old from St Albans comfortably claimed victory before producing a stunning performance in an Eastern Youngs Athletic League fixture for Watford Harriers at Bedford 24 hours later.
Although essentially a triathlete, Yates' performance in the 1500m this season must have left her trainers in something of a quandary as to how best utilise her undoubted talent and she did little to ease their headache on Sunday after knocking three seconds off her personal best to clock 5.14.00.
