Sprinter Jacob Wilson starred at the Oxfordshire Schools’ Track & Field Championships with a blistering performance in the 100m at Tilsley Park, Abingdon.
Representing the North in the under 17 boys’ competition, Wilson burned up the track to take victory in 11.0secs – a run which ranks in the top 15 in the United Kingdom this year.
He went on to complete a sprint double in the 200m, winning in 22.7.
Wilson’s 100m run was one of seven national standard performances at the championships.
In the same age group, Wilson’s North teammate, James Wright, won the triple jump with a huge leap of 13.93m, and for good measure took the long jump with 6.59m.
Jackson Curtis was another North athlete to set a national standard, launching the javelin an impressive 54.64m.
In the under 17 girls’ competition, Rebecca Hussey (City) posted two national standard performances.
The 16-year-old from Lord Williams’s, Thame, stormed to victory in the 200m in 25.0 and also took the 300m in 41.0.
In the same age group, Danielle Anderson (Vale), a dual silver medallist at the English Schools’ Championships, won the javelin with a throw of 38.96m.
She will bid for that elusive gold again at this year’s event at Sheffield’s Don Valley Stadium on July 10 and 11.
Cosima Berry (North) also recorded a national standard with a clearance of 1.65m in the under 15 girls’ high jump.
There were a host of other double winners.
Kim Sutherland (Vale) blazed a trail to a brace of sprint wins in the under 15 girls’ 100m in 13.1 and the 200m in 26.8.
And Vale’s Susan Keet showed her versatility at under 17, taking the 100m in 12.8 and the long jump with 5.14m.
Back in the boys’ competition, Jordan Dorrian (Vale) won the under 15 200m in 24.7 and the long jump with 5.34m.
Ollie Taylor (South) shone in the under 17 field events, winning the high jump with 1.80m and the shot with 11.94m.
And Philippe Essink (Vale) repeated his double of a year ago in the under 19 400m and 800m, winning in 51.4 and 1min 59secs respectively.
His contribution help-ed Vale triumph in the team event ahead of the North and the City.
A MINUTE’S silence was held before the start of the championships in memory of Barrie Strange, a long-serving AAA’s official who had supported schools’ athletics over the years, following his death last week.
