Enfield Open 7 title taken by USA Junior World Cup walker Zac Pollinger
Zachary Pollinger from New Jersey (on vacation as a high school graduation present) made a snap decision to enter the Enfield Open 7 mile race on Saturday - and won!
The eighteen your old, who competed at Naumburg, is taking a year out prior to studying economics at Harvard. He flew off the next day to join a training camp in Texas and plans to train over the winter at the Olympic training centre in Chula Vista, California.
He took away the Les Brown trophy as an added incentive to return to Europe next year and looks forward to competing against the UK juniors at the Leamington Grand Prix on 16 April.
Sarah Foster, another under 19 athlete, won the ladies 7 miles.
Fiona Bishop of Aldershot (right) had to walk quite a distance to accept more individual and team awards than any other walker.
