BASC members voted Zharnel Hughes's 100m victory in torrential time as their most memorable moment. Zharnel ran 10.03s in atrocious conditions.

Other performances on the shortlist were: Molly Caudery winning the women's pole vault with a massive PB (4.71m) and a World Championship qualifying height, after being out for so long with injuries. Zharnel Hughes' 200m win in a stunning 19.77s which only a breath of wind (0.3m/s over the allowable limit) preventing him from breaking John Regis' long-standing British record. Another impressive sprint victory went to Daryll Neita breaking the championship and stadium record in the 200m final with a time of 22.25s. And the final nominee is Katie Snowden, surprising many with a victory over hot favourite Laura Muir in the 1500m final (4:09.86).
