We finished 5th.

Match results were:

Thaila- Jade Mason (Van Dyke) added a silver medal in the long jump at the Schools International Match to the gold she had won at the English Schools Championships the previous week.

In persistent rain at Carmarthen, South Wales, Thaila jumped 5.83metres to lead her Welsh rival Olivia Scrimshaw by a single centimetre. However, the Welsh Champion hit back in the next round to set an Under17 UK leading mark of 5.96m to settle the competition. Gracie Osman of England was third with a personal best of 5.71 metres. England won the match from Scotland, Ireland and Wales by a comfortable margin.
