And, even though he is at the younger end of his new two-year age-group, he is ranked eighth nationally, thanks to a personal best of 3:58.06.
"It was really good to win the gold medal," he said of last Saturday's win at Kingsmeadow.
"I'd really like to run a quick time at the nationals. I'm not sure about medals - I just want to run a good race."
Holden also has the time to be considered for the 3,000m - and a national ranking of fifth for his age at that distance, having run 8:44.06, 11 seconds inside the time required.
