The previous record had been held by Zola Budd since 1986.^[3][4] The 60 metres races were won by Reece Prescod and Daryll Neita respectively. Both athletes qualified for the European Indoor Championships as a result.^[5] Mary Elcock won the women's triple jump event on countback, after tying for the best distance in the event.^[5] Jazmin Sawyers won the long jump event, seven years after her last British title at the event.^[4] Aled Davies finished fifth in the able bodied shot put event, and broke his own world record for F42 classification athletes in the event.^[2][6]
