Moore and Goodall fourth at Gateshead

After finishing third in the junior event last year Moore was up against it in her first year in the intermediate age group but rose to the occasion and equalled her personal best of 1.62 metres.

There was also a fourth placing for Sussex Downs College's Emily Goodall, last year's intermediate champion, in the senior girls's 800 metres,.

Goodall ran an excellent race and was just a couple of metres away from a medal but achieved a personal best of 2 minutes 09.17 seconds.

Pole vaulter Sam Brown from Chailey did well in his first appearance at the championships, gaining an English Schools standard to finish seventh with 3.00m, while fellow vaulter Chris Pilling from Uckfield equalled his personal best of 3.80m to place 12th in his first year in this age group.

Intermediate discus medal hope Jake Scanlon from Lewes, who had finished fourth last year, had a nightmare day. After two no throws his final safe effort was just 38.85m, his poorest throw of the season.

Both Dan Stepney from Sussex Downs College in the senior 800m and Scott Harris from Hailsham in the senior 1,500m were well below their best and did not survive the heats.

Neither did Hailsham's Sacha Henty on his first visit to the All England, but he was only just outside his best clocking of 52.82sec for the 400m, which saw him finish sixth.
