Sheffield runner Jonathon Shields follows in footsteps of his mother former Olympian Jane Shields
It is just reward for Shields after a string of consistently good performances in recent months. He is part of a very strong British squad, his team mates in the junior (under 20) team being Scott Beattie (Morpeth), Tom Holden (Tonbridge) and Hugo Milner (Derby). Jonathan Shield had an ideal pedigree.
His mother Jane competed in the 3000 metres at the 1984 Olympics and the 10,000 in 1988.
