Orogun sisters impress again on track

5:26pm Monday 25th June 2012 in Athletics By Rosemary Champion

DARTFORD Harriers contributed eight athletes to the Kent team competing at the inter-counties schools championships at Kingston on Saturday.

Many were hoping to be selected for the English schools championships at Gateshead next month and competitors who had finished first or second in their county championships were invited to take part, with two athletes per event.

Times and distances were affected by the strong winds but there were some impressive results by the Harriers contingent nevertheless.

Results: U15 girls - Isio Orogun 100m A 2nd 12.92s, 200m A 3rd 26.63; U17 ladies - Naomi Orogun 300m hurdles A 2nd 46.84, 300m B 1st 42.45 pb; U15 boys - Derek Aguma 100m B 2nd 12.19, 200m A 2nd 24.08; U17 boys - Ama Obiomah 100m A 2nd 11.36, 200m A 2nd 23.2, Lewis Jackson javelin A 4th 43.13, 100m hurdles A 7th 14.40, Joe Millman javelin B 8th 38.61; U17 ladies - Chelsey Eyers discus B 8th 32.89, Ella Walden long jump B 4th 4.88, triple jump A 8th 9.75.
