YOUNG athlete Emma Crooke was in record-breaking form for Hereford and County AC at the second meeting of the South-East Wales League at Brecon.

Under-11 girl Emma broke the league record for the short javelin with a throw of 16.84 metres, beating by 1.74m the previous best held by Caroline Hartland, also of Hereford, since September 2004.

Emma also had victories in the 75m and 150m and was in the successful under-11 4x100m relay team.

Hereford gained 23 first places and 10 second places and would have done even better had most of their under-15 and under-17 girls teams not been competing in a Midlands Women's League fixture at Telford on the same day.
