T35 sprinter Leaha was just short of her season’s best in 100m running a time of 24.88s into a strong headwind. She also put in a solid performance in 200m and ran solo against the clock in 400m.
T20 runner Matthew clocked a season’s best time of 29.93s in 200m and finished a comfortable second in the 400m despite picking up a slight hamstring injury.
F36 thrower William threw a season’s best 35.55m in discus and finished the competition in style by setting a new national record of 10.51m in shot put.
