Northern U18/U20/Senior Championships

It was a windy but succesful weekend for Team Blyth at the Northern Champs in Hull over the weekend, with our 6 athletes going up against the best in the North of England.

Alfie Ward was just outside the medals in the senior long jump with a best of 6.72m (w). Kaitlyn was also achingly close to a bronze, as her best of 50.75m showed her return to consistency above 50m. Lauren Creaby ran up an age group in the senior 800m, taking a fine silver on her return from the USA. Lianne Slater was another athlete to just miss out on a medal with 4th in the senior discus. Sadie Parker took bronze in the U20 long jump, and is working hard to find her previous form. Finally Senna secured bronze in the U20 javelin with a seasons best, and she became Northern 400m hurdles champion for the 2nd time with a gutsy run in challenging conditions.
