WINDSOR, Slough, Eton & Hounslow's Daley Thompson's heir apparent, Ashley Bryant, further enhanced his reputation at the English Schools Combined Event Championships at Bedford over the weekend with a gold medal winning score.

Representing Surrey, he amassed 7,219 points for the 10-event programme, leaving the 13 other opponents floundering in his wake. He was 60 points clear of the silver medal winner, Jack Andrew from Greater Manchester, with Sam Sleap from Hampshire a further 360 points adrift.

Bryant was truly on song, setting personal bests in the long jump which he won with a magnificent 6.98m and also in the shot with 13.79m where he also triumphed.

He also had a season's best pole vault with 4.11m, good enough for third. His other marks were: 100m 11.44 seconds, high jump 1.84, 400m 50.59, discus 40.48 and javelin 61.13m.
