ENGLISH SCHOOLS CHAMPIONSHIP: Freddie is the golden boy and Will finds a way to a bronze medal

The talented teenager from the Deepings School clocked 11.15 when winning his heat, but then smashed his personal best in the final with a time of 10.84 which blew the opposition away giving him a winning margin of 0.2 of a second, and cemented his standings at the top of the national rankings.#

William Hughes also won a medal, claiming bronze in the Senior under 20 200m.

The Spalding Grammar School educated Nene Valley Harrier breezed through his heat and semi final, and delivered a third fine run of the weekend when finishing in the bronze medal position in the final with a time of 21.80.

Hughes was making up for just missing out on a medal in the same event when an intermediate boy 12 months earlier.

Peterborough AC’s Lewis Davey was hopeful of a medal, but had his hopes dashed finishing fifth in the senior boys 400m with a 48.70 clocking.

Davey, who had picked up a silver in the discipline at intermediate boys level last year, had run quicker in his heat, finishing third in 48.47.

There were also top 10 positions for Nene Valley’s George Harrison who finished ninth in the junior hammer with a throw of 39.17m, Jasmine Allen of Peterborough AC who finished 10th in the senior long jump with a distance of 5.21m and Donovan Capes of Nene Valley Harriers and Bourne Academy who finished 10th in the junior boys shot with 11.89.

Capes was the only year eight in the field and, like most competitors in his event, performed below his best, but he will aim for a top three finish next year.
