As with the Essex County AAA championships the schools also moved their championships from Chelmsford to the home of Thurrock Harriers at Grays.


It wasn't only the sun that was shining, our athletes did an absolutely superb job and gained a very good haul of medals, twelve of these with winning places, nine seconds and eight thirds.

There were other outstanding performances from our under 20-year athletes with Onyeka Okoh lifting the 400 hurdles title with 52.99s, Will Steadman the 800 with 1min 56.80s and Maegan Hopkins the shot putt with a personal best of 13.60m. Maegan also contested the discus placing fourth with 35.75m. In the senior ranks sister Jess with 13.78m in the shot placed second also competing in the discus where 37.64m placed 8th. Back to the track and Kiera Atkinson (above) with 18m 56.19s claimed our other silver medal whilst amongst the senior ranks Bradley Reed took bronze in the 110m hurdles.

The England multi events championship found Kristian Brown as the only Chelmsford competitor making the journey to Manchester for the two-day event. The first days events were the 100 metres and a time of 11.24 seconds for 808 points, followed by long jump 6.71 metres (746), shot putt 12.40m,(631), high jump 1.72m(668) and 400metres 49.81s.(823) - thus given s fist day`s score of 3568 points and well in contention for a medal. Onto day two and the 110m hurdles with a time of 15.47s and 794 points and the discus with a throw 38.74m (639) and still in a challenging position. Alas the next event the pole vault put dampers on this for no height was obtained. Despite being the leading javelin thrower with 60.42 (744) and 1500 metres in 4m 26.24s (769) the leeway could not be made up although with a final score of 6514 points still achieved a personal best and ninth position. Had Kristian cleared 3.50m which he has cleared that score could have been 6996 for 4th spot.
