QUEEN Anne's pupil Ella Botha was in record-breaking form at the Reading Town Championships held at Palmer Park.

Her time for the Under 14 girls' 1,500m of 4min 58.1secs was more than four seconds faster than the previous best time, which was set by Katie Trewhella (Kendrick) in 2005.

With Katie Losel leaping to the high jump title and the sprint relay quartet also winning, the Caversham school were joint winners with Highdown of the U14 team event with 41 points.

Queen Anne's were runners-up to Abbey in both the U16s and U13s competitions.

Meet organiser and Reading & District Schools Athletic League secretary Brian Day said: "I would like to pass on my thanks to all those who made it a successful day. The athletes were great and hopefully enjoyed the event.

"We are extremely grateful to all the staff who covered the field events, track judging and recording, which made the event run very smoothly. Special thanks to our two timekeepers, Mark Balchin and Carolyn Walker.

"This was the last Town Championship to be held under the existing format after 46 years. We will be announcing the changes later."
