Held at the Alexander Stadium on Saturday, The Chase School pupil gained English Schools’ Athletics Association entry standards in three events.
The Junior Girls competition saw Hopkins secure second place in the high jump with a height of 1.69m and second in the long jump with a leap of 5.29m.
Hopkins then helped the Junior Girls 4x100m relay team secure an ESAA standard time of 51.6s despite finishing the race in sixth.
