Jacob Smith
A northern lad, Jacob Smith has shown great promise over 800m as he has aged – and the post-pandemic results have been spectacular. In 2022, Jacob was a 53.6sec and 2:02.2 runner in the 400m and 800m respectively and has managed to bring those times down to 50.63 and 1:49.69 in the space of two years.
He managed these results while moving up to longer distances too – running 14:18 for 5K and finishing inside the top 40 at BUCS Cross Country Championships, a respectable result for a middle-distance athlete.
However, his crowning achievement at the BUCS Championships in 2024. At the Indoor Championships, he stormed to victory in the 800m before claiming silver in the summer at the Outdoor Championships.
