Sussex had a tough time at the South of England U17 Inter-counties match at High Wycombe last weekend when they finished eighth in the men’s match and seventh in the women’s match.
Lillie Franks appears to have been the only winner clearing 1.72m in the high jump.
Tamsin Campbell cleared 3.25m to take second place in the pole vault and there was another second place in the 100m hurdles where Cameron Fillery clocked 13.25s while Edan Cole, Jake Binns and Mary Adenji picked up bronze medals in the Javelin and 200 metre events Cole throwing 50.84m and Binns clocking 22.25s respectively while Adenji leapt 10.99m in the triple jump.
Aaron Judah clocked 2:02.02s in the 800 metres fourth place while Larissa Carter threw 47.33m for sixth place in the hammer event.

In South West Two Chichester finished second and Horsham Blue Star were fourth in their match while four Sussex Clubs were involved in the North East Three B match with Worthing filing third place, Hastings fourth, Lewes fifth and East Grinstead sixth.
