HOLLY Griffiths-Brown landed triple jump gold at the South of England Championships in Ashford, Kent.
The Radley athlete dominated the under 15 competition, landing 10.58m – among the top five jumps in the country for her age group this year – in the first round.
No one could respond and Griffiths-Brown peaked with 10.77 in the fourth round, helping her to 24th on the UK all-time rankings – all six of her jumps would have won her the gold medal.
Clubmate Harry New clinched bronze in the under 17 men’s 400m hurdles.
He went head-to-head with teammate Blake Strickland Bennett, who was in third place before the penultimate hurdle.
But New finished strongly. Just half a second covered four athletes at the line as he took third in a personal best and club record of 57.35, while Strickland Bennett set a new mark to finish fifth.
