Steve Smythe continues our end-of-season merit rankings by taking a look at the under-20 performances

This was not easy to rank as last year’s No.1 Matthew Willis did not contest the National or Inter-Counties but won at Liverpool and Cardiff, was ninth in the Europeans and finished as the leading junior in the BUCS.

Zak Mahamed won the National and trailed Willis in Lisbon and Liverpool while Matthew Stonier won the Inter-Counties and English Schools but trailed the top two in the aforementioned races.

US-based Charlie Hicks was the first Briton in the Europeans but his only other run was at Liverpool, which costs him ranking positions.

National runner-up and Midlands champion Lay follows, one place up on fellow Joshua (Cowperthwaite) who was second at Loughborough.

Tomer Tarragano, with a number of top 10 spots, ranks seventh ahead of Northern champion and English Schools runner-up Josh Dickinson, who was not at his best in the National.

Inter-Counties bronze medallist Henry McLuckie and a lightly-raced Scottish champion Freddie Carcas complete the top 10. Carcas heads fellow Scots, Hamish Armitt and Hickey who both ran 12:31 in the Scottish relays.

Joe Wigfield, who won the short BUCS race, is followed by Stirling winner Thomas Keen and Glasgow 8km runner-up Alex Ediker.

Kian Davis and Samuel Moakes finished the season well and were followed by Oliver Newman, Jeremy Dempsey and Seyfu Jamaal, who were also impressive in the National or Inter-Counties.

Others to just miss out are National top 10 placers Chris McLeod, Cameron Allan and Joe Hudson, as well as Welsh champion Dominic Smith.

Athletes who achieved the following were considered for the rankings: All European team; Top 12: National, Liverpool, CAU Inter-Counties; Top 10: ESAA, Stirling, Cardiff; Top 6: North, Milton Keynes; Top 5: South; Top 3: Midlands, Scottish
