MARK SHEARMAN
On the track, one of the most outstanding victories was achieved by Guildford athlete Olivia Okoli.
She won the 100m race by four metres in 11.91 despite a huge 3.3m/sec headwind and was clearly a far superior performance to her PB 11.90 with a 1.8m/sec tailwind, in the English Schools semi-finals.

Charmont Webster-Taipe ensured a Surrey one-two.
England also went one-two in the boys’ 100m with Charles Hilliard winning into a headwind 11.06 and reversing ESAA form with Kaie Chambers-Brown.
There was also a form reversal in the 200m in which William Hughes easily took the race in a PB 21.85 with Romell Glave second this time.
Glave and Chambers-Brown were also part of the successful 4x100m team along with Tade Ojora and Sam Bennett and they won in a Championship best 41.50. England won all four relays.
Ojora was a clear winner of the hurdles in 13.03 with Bennett second.
Khahisa Mlanga: 800m gold
