The junior girls, as ever, gave a gritty performance. SLH’s leading junior sprinter Shanice Harrison was 2nd in both the 100m and 200m A race with Sophie Small 3rd in the B. Under 13, Megan Waller was 4th in the B 200m. Harriet Field ran close to her best for 2nd in the A 1500m with Maria Kavanagh winning the B race. Hannah Field was 3rd in the A 800m. Sophie Small also ran in the A race of the 75m hurdles, finishing 2nd with Megan 4th in the B race with a very good time despite the strong wind. Sophie then set a PB in the A long jump to finish 2nd with Hannah 2nd in the B. Hannah was also 4th in the A High Jump with a new PB. Georgina West set 2 new PBs in winning the A shot putt and the A discus; she was also 3rd in the javelin and was reliably backed by Lily Holder in the B strings. Hannah Field, Sophie Small, Harriett Field and Shanice Harrison then competed again to finish a close third in the 4 x 100m relay.
In the seniors event, a strong team along with new recruit Georgie Bruinvels, had their best match of the season. Natalie Bartley and Estelle D’ja destroyed the opposition, winning the A and B strings of the 100m and 200m.

Michelle Jenkins also ran superbly to win the B 400m, the B 800m and the B 1500m in times which would also have won the A races. Jessica Case won the A 400m and was 2nd in the A 400m hurdles and also 3rd in the A 100m hurdles race. Alecia Alli-Ugbaja won the B 100m hurdles and Sian Mitchell controlled the 300m hurdles sprinting away in the home straight. Alecia was also 2nd in the B high jump.
