ENTRIES were low, not helped by a fixture clash with the county schools championships.
A few athletes did both. Crawley’s Joe Smith won the Sussex Schools Junior boys 1500m in 4:18.37 and then followed up here with a 3000m under-15 title. His 9:15.74 took him to second on the national rankings for the year for his age group.
Elsewhere the best performances came in the field, with Windsor, Slough, Eton & Hounslow’s hammer throwers leading the way. One of the oldest championship records, that of Paul Head in the senior men’s event, dating from 1992, fell to Taylor Campbell.
