Monday 20th March - Athletics Day 2

Monday's main event for the hosts and home fans was the Men's 5000m, an event convincingly won by Kenya's emerging talent Augustine Choge.

The Women's 1500m heats produced no upsets and all those favoured to progress did so with relative ease. The 2 heats were won by two Brit athletes Hayley Tullett (Wales) and Helen Clitheroe (England). see results below
