Lewis remains unbeaten in Schools International Match

Report by Tom Gayle

City of Stoke's best Pole Vaulter, 16 year old Steven Lewis, continued his unbeaten record this season in the U17 age group with a comfortable victory at the annual Schools International match.

The match, included the top two in each event from each of the home countries, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland based on the results from the recent National Schools competitions.

In a day dominated by England (the boys team won all but one of the individual events) Lewis cleared 4.20 in blustery conditions to his team mates Keith Highman’s (Border Harriers A.C) 3.80 as the England duo took maximum points in the event, taking first and second respectively.

Steven can now prepare for the next month’s National AAA U17/U15 championships at Birmingham in confident mood of improving on his Bronze medal from last year, and hopefully maintain his unbeaten record.
