Sargent clocked 49.45 which puts him second in the south east. Chaplin recorded 63.03.

Bryn Smith powered to a 10.86 finish in his 100m just shy of his previous best – third fastest in the region. Bailey Wright is close behind in sixth place.

Shania Martlew equalled her best in the 200m with 26.26 – but it was wind-assisted so will not be listed in the rankings. It would be third place and her 100m time put her fourth in the south east.

Jack Usher improves with every run and his 11.69 ranks him fifth U17 in the 100m. Daisy Burrows is sixth with her 100m in 13.1.
