Ed Womersley stole the show at the Oxfordshire Schools' Track & Field Championships at Radley College with a stunning performance in the 2000m steeplechase.

Despite being the only competitor in the under 19 boys' event, the City athlete recorded one of the fastest times for his age group in the UK this year with 6mins 1sec.

Now the St Edward's youngster, fifth at the English Schools Sainsbury's Track & Field Championships 12 months ago, will be hoping to get among the medals at this year's event at Birmingham's Alexander Stadium on July 13 and 14.

City's Kirsty Warland (Wheatley Park), who struck gold for Oxfordshire in the under 15 girls' 75m hurdles at Gateshead last year, warmed up for a crack at the intermediate event this time with victory in 12.2secs.

Vale's javelin thrower Danielle Anderson (Matthew Arnold, Cumnor), an English Schools' under 15 silver medallist 12 months ago, showed she is on course to challenge again this time by taking county honours with 31.64.

South's Catherine Hawkes, a bronze medallist in the 200m at Gateshead, stormed to a sprint double in the under 17 girls' competition.

The youngster from Lord Williams's, Thame, took the 100m in 12.5 and the 200m in 25.5.

City's Bea Swords, who suffered the heartbreak of falling on the final bend as she challenged for gold in last year's English Schools', took a step towards another national challenge with victory in the 800m in 2mins 15.7secs.

North's Claire Butler ran out a good winner of the 400m in 41.5.

City's Tara Kafke, who won gold in the 100m at Birmingham two years ago, but missed out last year through injury, showed she is back on track with a sprint double in the under 19 girls' competition.

Kafke (Gosford Hill, Kidlington) took the 100m in 12.5 and the 200m in 25.6, with North's Lauren Grace hot on her heels in both events with 12.8 and 25.8 respectively.

Ideal weather conditions contributed to a high level of competition with 28 athletes recording national entry standards - giving the selectors a headache as they prepare to name a 25-strong team next week.

North's John Wright put himself in contention when winning the under 15 boys' 400m in 53.8.

And the youngster from Marlborough, Woodstock, completed a double with victory in the long jump in 5.72.

North's Daniel Burford (Cokethorpe) recorded an impressive 13.17m to take the shot.

In the under 19 boys' competition, Vale duo Luke Chown and Will Stinton repeated their doubles of 12 months ago.

Chown took the 100m in 11.5 and the 200m in 23.1, while Stinton won the shot with 11.54 and the javelin with 42.86m.

In the under 17 boys' events, City's Chris Williams recorded a useful 50.5 in the 400m.
