Bella scored a fantastic victory in the junior girls hammer, with her best of 41.50m being a national standard performance. Charlie produced a strong run in tricky conditions in the junior boys 800m.

George Bryce raced in the inter 3000m, taking a fine 2nd place. Luke Pichler battled hard in the wind in the senior boys long jump, but was unable to achieve his goals. Ben took a strong win in the inter boys hammer, whilst Hollie-Anne recorded a seasons best in the 100m with 12.6s. Kimi made her Durham debut in the Triple jump, whilst Aman took 5th in the inter girls 80m hurdles. Charlotte raced over the long hurdles, putting in another strong performance.
