Zac Munn Dominates U14 Boys 1500m at Welsh Schools Championships

Cardiff & Vale Schools District’s Zac Munn produced a commanding performance to take the U14 Boys 1500m title at the 2026 Welsh Schools Track & Field Championships. Taking control of the race early, Munn never looked under serious pressure as he powered to victory in 4:31.66, underlining why he is regarded as one of Wales’ most exciting young middle-distance talents.

Behind him, Sebby Carwardine (South East Wales) ran an impressive race to secure the silver medal in 4:39.63, while Jacob Price (Eryri Schools District) claimed bronze with 4:44.22 after holding off a determined late challenge.

The battle for the remaining places was fiercely contested. Ioan Wyn Davies (Afan Nedd Tawe) finished just two hundredths of a second behind Price in 4:44.24, with Noah Howells (Glamorgan Valley) taking fifth in 4:48.17. Isac Martin (North East Wales) crossed in sixth with 4:52.71, ahead of Blake Rees (Dyfed) in 4:58.38, while Sebastian Loxam (Powys) completed the field in 5:04.60.

While the medals were hard-earned throughout the field, this race belonged to Zac Munn. His decisive front-running display and winning margin highlighted both his confidence and strength, adding another outstanding performance to an already impressive season.
