A student from Repton School has made history by winning two titles in the same indoor season.

Ella became only the third person in UK athletics history to win an individual national title and a national multi-event title in the same indoor season last weekend, winning the England Athletics UK Pentathlon title with a total of 3346 points and achieving new personal bests in the 60m hurdles and the shot put.

This followed her victory earlier in the year at the England Athletics UK Age Group Championships where she was crowned long jump champion with a personal best jump of 5.5m.

The other two athletes to achieve this feat are current World Indoor Pentathlon champion, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Rio Olympic high jump finalist, Morgan Lake.
