After winning his heat of the Year 7 Boys 100m in an excellent 13.3s, Owen Omoigui proved to be too good for all his rivals in the later run final, which he won in a modest 13.8s. Also competing in the heats was fellow Morpeth Harrier Elliott Mavir, who posted a time of 14.8s, finishing sixth in the opening heat of two. Year 7 Girl Hannah Lott was a comfortable winner of the 70m Hurdles final in 11.8s, after winning her heat in 11.9s. Year 8 Boy Dan Waddington certainly had a good day, winning both the Discus and Hammer events, with best throws of 23.20m and 21.85m respectively. Finishing second to Waddington in the Discus, was fellow Morpeth Harrier Edward Gardiner, who was not far behind with his best throw of 22.95m. Gardiner also finished third in the Javelin (27.81m), with fellow Morpeth Harrier Harry Brown, not far adrift in fourth spot with 27.67m.
