Sheffield Indoor Open - PB's galore as Team Blyth Shine

Whilst it was stormy and wet outside, 10 of our Team Blyth juniors took the opportunity to compete indoors at the Northern Indoor Open at the world-class English Institute for Sport in Sheffield. 

Alexander was our only boy taking part - and showed fantastic composure on his first visit to what can be an intimidating venue. Alex produced a stunning new PB in the high jump of 1.35m, before PB's also in the Long jump and 150m. India was our sole U13 girl - also picking up 3 PB's. Her Hurdles and 150m races were superb, with a real highlight being her 6.33m shot put PB.

Caitlin was in fine form, as she took another tenth of a second off her 60m PB, before a superb 150m run which will give her great confidence heading into 2024. Izabela, Fearne and Aman were all making their Sheffield debuts. All 3 girls had a mixed long jump, whilst out on track Aman produced a brilliant first ever U15 hurdles race, whilst Fearne and Izabela set 60m PB's. All the girls raced in the same 150m heat, with Aman just pipping Fearne in a photo-finish for the win.

Sadie set the bar high in the U17 hurdles, with a club record 9.11s to finihsh fastest. Abi and Senna pushed each other to new PB's in the same race, before Amber won her heat, also in a massive PB. Amber secured a 60m PB and had a strong long jump, whilst Abi set a new LJ PB of 4.65m. Isla set her 2nd 60m PB in the space of 3 days, before both Senna and Isla worked hard in the long jump with a mixed bag of results, before finishing the day with hard-fought 300m's in which they both finished strong.
