The talented West Cheshire AC member represented Cheshire against Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Cumbria, and Merseyside, and won the all-rounder competition after winning the standing long jump competition before partnering clubmate Laura Rigby in the parlaaf race.
Rigby, who finished second in the speed bounce and standing long jump, finished joint third in the all-rounder competition.
Montez-Brown and Rigby combined with West Cheshire AC duo Chloe Hunt and Kelly Baker to help earn Cheshire victory in the under 15 team competition.
Hunt finished runner-up in the vertical jump and teamed up with Baker for victory in the relay, while Baker also powered her way to victory in the shot put competition.

A sunny but cold morning after snow on Friday night and Saturday. A hard frost (-8.5°C indicated by the car on the way there) didn’t upset the course marking as the previous year had. The frozen ice on the connecting paths across the ditches was covered by enough soft snow. Jac Goodall had some company this year. First time ever that no seniors turned up! Thanks to all runners and officials who did.
