Oxford City's Swords family stole the show at the Oxfordshire Track & Field Championships at Horspath Road on Saturday and Sunday.

Dominic Swords, and his daughters Beth and Bea, each achieved a brace of victories at a hugely successful championships, which produced some outstanding performances and several championship records.

In the under 15 girls' 800m, Bea set a new record of 2.13.6 as she eased to victory, before going on to clock 4.58.5 as she stormed home by almost a minute in the 1500m.

Bea's younger sister, Beth, also completed a middle-distance double in the under 13 age group.

In the 800m, Beth held off a strong field to cross the line first in 2.30.3, then had a more comfortable time of it in the 1500m, winning by 21 seconds in 5.16.0.

Dominic, 50, was also in record-breaking form, clocking 55.1secs to win the Vet 50 400m and 2.04.3 in the 800m.

It was a great weekend for Oxford City, who brought home a total of 39 gold medals across the age groups.

Arguably, the most outstanding performance of the championship came from Danielle Anderson, whose throw of 33.96m in the under 15 girls' javelin was not only an English Schools' National standard, but would have secured gold at last year's National Schools Champ- ionships.

There was no stopping Oxford City's under 15 star Melissa Hawtin in the 3,000m, as she blasted round the track in an impressive 10.14.7 for another championship best.

Abingdon's Jemma Gregory was also in fine form as she registered 13.4 in the under 13 girls' 100m.

Abingdon look to have another fine prospect in under 20 400m hurdler Jonny Lodowski, who eclipsed the field with an astonishing 55.2secs.

Lodowski also easily took the 400m, clocking 50.4secs.

Among a host of other great performances were fine runs by Kirsty Warland (Oxford City) in the under 15 girls' 75m hurdles, where she clocked 11.5secs, and by Radley's Lucy Boggis, who recorded 14.8secs in the under 20 women's 100m hurdles.

In the older age groups, there were some classy performances across the board as yet more records tumbled.

Pride of place went to Bicester's Dave Kuester, who launched the javelin an astonishing 37.00m in the Vet 60 men's competition winning the event by almost 11 metres.

Elsewhere, Bruce Charles set new records in both the 100m hurdles and pole vault, while Oxfordshire AA president Barrie Strange (Oxford City) threw a record 29.42m in the Vet 70 discus.

In the ladies' competition, the evergreen Radley multi-eventer Lyn Ahmet ran and jumped to great effect in the Vet 45 category.

She won gold medals in the 100m, 200m, long jump and triple jump.

Teammate Jackie Charles grabbed a brace of titles in the Vet 55 age group, leaping to 3.30m in the long jump and setting a championship record of 8.01m in the triple jump.

Banbury's Margaret Coombe launched the javelin 21.42m and cleared a championship best of 1.80m in the pole vault.
