The Nene Valley Harriers talent was in blistering form when running for Lincolnshire at the Anglian Schools Championships in Norwich on Saturday.

The event features the best athletes from six counties and is seen as a warm-up meeting for the prestigious English Schools showpiece, which this year takes place in Birmingham on July 13 and 14,

And Fraser, running in Lincolnshire colours, breezed to victory in the junior boys 80m hurdles in a rapid 11.2.

Fraser made the final of the same event at the English Schools Championships last year and finished fifth in 11.56. This year, with a number one UK ranking of 11.1 by his name, he’ll be going for gold.

Other Nene Valley winners for Lincolnshire were Megan Ellison (Senior Girls 800m in 2.20.8), Aaron Hunt (Senior Boys 1500m in 4.07.8), Josie Fortune (Senior Girls 3000m in 11.19.8), Jasmine Allen (Senior Girls long jump with 5.22m), Katie Callcut (Junior Girls 75m hurdles in 12.2) and Francesca Fenwick (Junior Girls high jump with 1.60m).

Three Nene Valley Harriers athletes coached by Geoff Capes were winners for Cambridgeshire.

They were Kai Harrison in the senior boys discus with a season’s best 36.89m, George Harrison in the junior boys hammer with 38.18m and Elizabeth Moorhouse in the intermediate girls shot with a personal best 11.87m.

The Nene Valley sprinter Jason Bogle achieved an impressive track double for the second weekend running.

The City of Peterborough School pupil followed up his 100m and 200m successes at the Cambridgeshire Schools Championships with another two wins in Norwich.

He won the Under 15 boys 100m in a new personal best of 11.9 and the 200m in 24.5.
