He was favourite to win, and did so in style, his throw of 61.28m giving him victory by several metres.
Another record breaker was shot-putter Sophie Mckinna (Great Yarmouth) who smashed the U17 girls record with a massive 15.08m.
Callum Brown, of North Walsham High School, was second in the U17 boys' hammer, throwing just below his best with 63.30m.
