Kathryn Woodcock and Luisa Chantler Edmond added to Oxfordshire’s medal haul at the English Schools’ Track & Field Championships at Alexander Stadium, Birmingham, by winning silvers.

Woodcock, 16, from Our Lady’s Abingdon, went agonisingly close to striking gold in the intermediate girls’ discus with her throw of 39.58m just four centimetres short of Essex’s Rachel Forder, who triumphed with 39.62.

Woodcock will now represent England in the SIAB International in Dublin next Saturday.

Chantler Edmond’s silver came in the junior girls shot put.

The 14-year-old, from Cherwell School, Oxford, produced a distance of 11.11 as Hampshire’s Melissa Cavanagh took gold with 11.42.

Henley College’s Amy Holder took Oxon’s medal tally to six with bronze in the senior girls’ discus.

The 17-year-old’s throw of 40.01 gave her third place behind Channels Islands’ Shadine Duquemin (47.92).

Meanwhile, javelin thrower Freddie Curtis won silver for Leicestershire.

The 18-year-old, from Hardwick, near Bicester, finished second in the senior boys’ event with a throw of 64.63m as Shropshire’s Huw Bevan took gold with 66.86m.

It was Curtis’s fourth successive medal.

He won bronze for Leicestershire in 2012 after claiming silver and bronze in the intermediate age group while representing Oxfordshire in the previous two years.
