Williams-Hewitt took the 100m in 12.65, 200m in 25.69 and 300m in 41.40.

Doncaster’s Nicole Lannie won the hurdles and the shot in the same age group with Jodie Hill delivered a fast finish to win the 1500m in 4:45.94.

Hallamshire’s Ruby Simpson won the U13 800m by a huge margin with a personal best of 2:20.52, breaking a 34-year-old championship record.
