Ireland win one of four events at Glasgow but otherwise England impress with Thea Brown climbing high on all-time lists

SIAB PENTATHLON INTERNATIONAL, Emirates Arena, Glasgow, November 26

England won three of the four individual titles and also won the same team events, with their one loss coming in the youngest girls’ category.

Individually the English highlight was the victory of Thea Brown and, though she is still 15 years old, she dominated the  over-16 women’s event.

She won the hurdles (PB 8.57) and high jump (1.72m) and good marks in the other three events gave her victory over Wales’ Jessica Lee by 188 points and her 3859 score moved her to fourth all time among UK under-17s.

The winning England team is pictured above with, left to right, Ava John, Arabella Wilson, Thea Brown, Jessica Duncton.

Hayden Christian won the over-16 boys event by over 100 points. He had the best shot (13.55m) and the hurdles (8.04) though did lose a little ground to Scottish runner-up Ben Heron at the 200m and 800m.

The England over-16s team is pictured below (left to right): Hayden Christian, Oliver Brooke, Dante McNichol, Hal Rust D’Eye.

Luke Pichler and Ireland’s Tara O’Connor won the under-16 events with O’Connor 199 points clear of Rebecca Wright with Pichler only winning by 17 points as a 8.42 hurdles and 6.36m long jump gave him an initial big lead.

O’Connor also led Ireland to team victory with much of her margin courtesy of a 1.72m high jump though Wright who lost 440 points in that one event did make up ground with a 9.00 hurdles victory.
