The youngster, from Tudor Hall, Banbury, cleared a national standard height of 1.63m in the junior girls’ competition.

It was one of two meeting records which were broken with Hayley Perrin (Barth-olomew, Eynsham) setting a new mark in the long jump with a county standard leap of 4.91m.

Perrin made it a double by winning the 100m in 14.2secs.

Banbury School’s Hannah Cousins won the 200m in 28.1, while Jess Anstice (Gosford Hill, Kidlington) posted a county standard distance of 25.8m to triumph in the discus.

George Fagg (Wood Green, Witney) scraped home in a thrilling finish to the 100m in 13.1.

In the intermediate girls’ competition, Burford’s Lily Cartwright chalked up a double, winning the 100m in 13.8 and the long jump with a county standard distance of 4.89m.

In the intermediate boys’ competition, Dave Aslett (Cooper, Bicester) recorded a sprint double, beating Daniel Browne (Blessed George Napier, Banbury) in both the 100m and 200m in 12.3 and 25.3 respectively.

Blessed George Napier’s Eddie Harwood starred in the field events, winning both the high jump with 1.60m and the long jump with 5.24m.

Chipping Norton’s Stuart Ferguson also put up a solid performance to take the 1500m in 4.38.6.
