With the first event, as on the Day One Jessica got off to a flying start. Her Long jump (see photo above)
scored her over 1,000 points (just !) and the day was set fair for victory. Her javelin throw was perhaps
the one danger moment, which she met with aplomb by producing another personal best !

With the first event, the 100m hurdles, Jessica showed in superb form - she established a new UK
hurdles record !
She followed that with two other 1,000 plus scores, in the high jump (see above) and the 200 metres at the end of day one.
