Ten points each for the county were won by Amelia Hamlin, who was the fastest Junior Girl over 300 metres, clocking 43.7s, Will DeVere Owen was fractionally just short of the English Schools Entry Standard, when he won the Intermediate Boys 3000m in 8m56.5s, and Edward Gardiner was a clear winner of the Intermediate Boys Discus, throwing a best of 38.18m.
Another Morpeth Harriers winner on the day was Charlotte Earl, but it was outside the main competition in the Triple Jump, where she achieved a best of 11.20m, which was inside the National Standard, so an impressive performance for her individually.
