Jane finished in 2:50.11, giving her a total of 3708 points. It was well down on her PB of 3850 from the year before, but good considering the extremely windy conditions.
Jacqueline was competing in the Under 15 Girls Pentathlon. She started with a good 4.24m Long Jump but had a disappointing 75m Hurdles with a time of 16.07, well down on her best of 14.6.
