Tuesday Jeffries, of Broughton Gifford, competing in the high jump (21775/9)

Soaring temperatures didn't stop Wiltshire athletes from recording some superb performances in the 2008 Wiltshire Track and Field Championships, held on Saturday at Bath University.

Among the new county champions is 11-year-old Broughton Gifford high jumper Tuesday Jeffries, who took the under 13s title by clearing 1.40, 10cm clear of silver medal winner Frankie Temple Brown, of Marlborough Juniors.

Tuesday, a member of Team Bath, only began jumping last year and has made amazing progress over the winter, coached by Jimmy Allan.

The victory gave Tuesday a hat-trick of wins in three weeks, following success at the Bath University Open and her first Young Athletes' League meeting of the season in Carmarthen.

Ed Mason, from Melksham, retained his county title by taking the senior high jump, clearing 1.90, while Heather Cumming, from Box, took the under 17s crown with 1.65.

On the track Team Bath team-mate Anna Alexander-Holmes came home with a pair of county titles, winning the under 15s 100m and 200m races. The 100m was an especially fine run as she clocked 13.69 to beat Abi Davies, from Trowbridge, into second place with 13.73.

Chippenham sprinter Elaine O'Neill repeated the double by winning the under 17s 100m and 200m events, while Katie Geddes, from Warminster, took the under 13s 100m title.

While Team Bath, their numbers boosted this season by many young athletes who have moved to the club following the closure of Wessex and Bath Athletics Club at the end of 2007, recorded excellent results, there were also some strong performances from athletes from Swindon, Salisbury, Devizes and Marlborough clubs, as well as from athletes running without club affiliations.
