ACCRINGTON star runner Robbie Schofield got the chance to meet middle distance legend - Sebastian Coe.

And the 18-year-old put on a superb show for his hero when he represented Great Britain at the Loughborough international.

The Newham and Essex Beagle charged home in the 800 metres in one minute 50.57 to chalk up a personal best and finish fourth against senior athletes.

Fellow Accrington runner Leigh Lennon also donned a Great Britain vest at Loughborough and followed that up by smashing her 800m best by over two seconds at Sportcity’s British Milers’ Club Grand Prix.

Her superb 2.05.93 won her the race in a field packed with experience and was also just inside the European junior championship qualifying standard.
