THE Holt secured four best-performance awards at the Reading and District Schools Athletic Association’s Under-16 competition held at Palmer Park, writes Dave Wright.

Chloe Eames recorded the fastest time in the girls’ 100 metres with 12.8 seconds, while Lara Croft was the quickest over 1,200m with 3m 52.5secs and Abigail Miller took the javelin honours thanks to her throw of 31.42 metres.

The Wokingham school’s time of 53.1 seconds saw them top the relay list.

Two best performances also came from the Maiden Erelgh Wokingham girls with Liani Springer the fastest in all the 150m races with a time of 19.5secs, while none of her rivals could beat Chisom Ezekwu’s putt of 8.39m in the shot.

In Final One, the winners were Kendrick, followed closely by Piggott A and The Holt, while Final Two saw Bradfield College finish ahead of The Abbey.

Harvey Harry and Joseph Cox both won best-performance awards to help Little Heath win the boys’ title.

Harry was the fastest over 100 metres, racing home in a time of 11.5 seconds, while Cox cleared the bar at 1.75m to win the high jump.

Little Heath were top of the class in the boys’ Final One, while Bulmershe took the honours in Final Two.
