TIM Stephens and Luisa Chantler Edmond won two events apiece as Team Oxfordshire finished fifth in their opening UK Youth Development League Midland Premier 1 fixture at Birmingham’s Alexander Stadium.

Stephens (Oxford City) pulled off an under 17 men’s hurdles double, while Chantler Edmond (Radley) triumphed in the under 17 ladies’ discus and shot putt.

Their displays were among the highlights for the composite side featuring Oxford City, Radley, White Horse Harriers and Abingdon who won promotion last season, but a lack of numbers meant they failed to field athletes in every discipline.

Stephens won the 100m hurdles in 14.71secs and the 400m event in 57.51 – an English Schools qualifying time.

Chantler Edmond threw well over the English Schools qualifying distance to win the shot putt with 12.76m and took the discus in 32.28.

Tom Anstice (Radley) and Robby Crowther (Oxford) won the under 20 and under 17 men’s javelin with throws of 50.58 and 51.54 respectively.

Ben Claridge (White Horse Harriers) won the under 17 men’s 1,500m in 4mins 19.02secs.

The other wins came from Oxford trio Megan Humphreys (4.43.61) in the under 20 ladies’ 1,500m, Lauren Hawtin (5.31.28) in the equivalent steeplechase and Alice Byles (46.29) in the under 17 ladies’ 300m hurdles.

Humphreys and Byles (pictured) ran English Schools qualifying times.
