North East Athletics Championship 2019

The Thompson sisters had a fantastic day at the North Eastern Counties Championships at Middlesbrough on Sunday.

The girls were the only two athletes representing Alnwick Harriers on this occasion but were very successful.

Leila (U13) started the day with shot put demonstrating some fantastic throwing and was leading the competition until the last round, however she was narrowly pushed into silver medal position but still managed a best throw of 7.38m.

Talia competed next in the hammer with a brilliant set of throws and a new PB of 25.78m gaining her a well-earned silver medal.

Talia saved her best performance to last in the shot, she had a brilliant finish to the day with a throw of 10.91m.

This personal best throw and Club record earned Talia the gold medal making her the North Eastern Counties Champion!

It was a truly glorious evening for the 2019 Les Allcorn 10k and 3k Junior Fun Run on Tuesday, with a record number of entrants (almost 200 adults, and almost 90 Juniors).

Last Saturday the first NOTAN (North of Tyne Athletics Network) Minor’s Athletic Meeting took place at Churchill playing fields, Whitley Bay.

The youngest age groups (Y3 to Y6) compete in four disciplines and their combined points contribute to their overall score on the day.

Competing in a sprint, jump, middle distance race and howler throw the young athletes aim to improve on their combined performance as the summer season progresses.

Alesia Purvis and Lucy McGowen competed well in the Y3 competition, Alesia had a fantastic race winning the 400m race.
