In the men’s 200m final, Jeremiah Azu claimed victory to complete a sprint double a day after winning 60m gold.<\/p>\n

The world indoor 60m champion powered to victory in 20.77secs.<\/p>\n

Athletes were required to compete at the UK Indoors to be considered for selection for next month’s World Indoor Championships in Poland (20-22 March), and must also secure the World Athletics entry standard by the 4 March deadline. <\/p>\n

Former world indoor champion Josh Kerr was given a medical exemption after withdrawing from the men’s 3,000m because of a back injury, Tom Keen stepping up in his absence to win the event. <\/p>\n

Hannah Nuttall retained the women’s 3,000m title in a championship-record time, crossing the line in 8 minutes 41.75 seconds to take almost two seconds off the previous best set by Jo Pavey (8:43.23) in 2004. <\/p>\n

Welsh champion Issy Boffey capitalised on the absence of Olympic gold medallist Keely Hodgkinson to win a third UK indoor title in the women’s 800m, finishing in 1:59.64 – the second-fastest time of her career.<\/p>\n

Hodgkinson clocked a national record of 1:56.33 in the heats<\/a> but did not compete in Sunday’s final as she is due to race in France on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Jemma Reekie, a world indoor silver medallist in the 800m, powered away from the field to comfortably win the women’s 1500m title, while Jack Higgins won the men’s event in a championship-record time of 3:38.12.<\/p>\n

World champion Amber Anning had to be content with a shock third-place finish in the women’s 400m, edged out by winner Yemi Mary John and Louisa Stoney. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Scott Lincoln surpassed Linford Christie’s record for UK indoor titles (nine), winning the men’s shot put for a 10th time with a longest throw of 20.80m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
