Personal Bests:
1999 Ricky took the Silver medal in the English Schools' Inter Boys' 1500m Steeplechase in a time of 4:28.81.
English Schools Track and Field Championships 2000, 1500m Steeplechase FINAL. 2nd Time: 4:28.81. 2000 Soos won the English Schools’ 1500m title and was the top-ranked junior in the steeplechase.
English Schools Track and Field Championships 2000, 1500m FINAL. 1st Time: 3:52.12. 2001 Soos won the English Schools’ 1500m title and was the top-ranked junior in the steeplechase.
English Schools Track and Field Championships 2001, 1500m FINAL. 1st Time: 3:52.63. 2001 saw him win the first of two successive AAA U20 titles and break 1:50 for the first time. By the end of the season he was the fastest junior in Britain with a time of 1:48.43, a time he clocked when taking the European junior bronze medal. 2002 That time was further improved at the end of the 2002 campaign when he ran 1:47.18 to move to eighth on the UK all-time junior lists. 2003 Soos brought that time down further in stages in 2003 and finished fifth in the European U23s before winning his first senior AAA title and he was selected for the World Championships in Paris where he finished third in his heat. Before flying out to
compete in Paris he further improved
his PB to 1:46.06 at the British Grand Prix. 2004
Athens-bound
Ricky Soos (Mansfield Harriers) sprinted from ninth to fifth in the last 90m of
the Men’s 800m at
the London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace,
won in 1:45.53 by Joseph Mutua (Kenya). Soos clocked 1:46.12 and took some
quality ‘scalps’ with a performance that will doubtless enhance his
confidence as he finalises his preparations for his first Olympics campaign.
