Aaron Sexton broke 100m and 200m records at the Ulster Schools Athletics Championships at the Antrim Forum track on Saturday.
The 18-year-old, representing Bangor Grammar School, won the senior boys 100m in 10.49 seconds.
He later followed that victory up with another in the 200m. His time of 21.20 was also an Ulster Schools best. Though, it did not beat his personal best of 21.06.
