Stefan Anderson set two new indoor PBs whilst competing at the U17 England Indoor Championships in Birmingham last weekend.  In the 60m he recorded a time of 7.36.  In the 200m he recorded a time of 23.28 and made it through to the semi finals.  Both were excellent performances, especially considering Stefan still has another year to go in the U17 age group.
