The Cherwell School youngster also won the long jump with a personal best leap of 4.92m.
Not to be outdone, elder sister Luisa posted a hat-trick of wins for the third successive year with a clean sweep in the intermediate girls’ throwing events, capturing the shot (12.46), discus (35.51) and javelin (31.50).
The best performance on the track came from Vale’s Ella Turner, who stormed to victory in the junior girls’ 200m in 26.0secs.
Back in the field events, Vale’s Sam Way put up the outstanding effort with a leap of 6.46 to take the intermediate boys’ long jump.

His feat was matched in the senior boys’ competition by teammate Joshua Parry, who captured the 100m in 11.3 and the 200m in 22.4.
Dual English Schools’ Championship long jump gold medallist Simi Fajemisin (City) warmed up for her hat-trick bid at Gateshead next month with a leap of 5.70 to take the senior girls’ crown.
Younger sister Temi made it a family double by winning the year 7 event with 4.30.
