Charnwood Open Meeting

In his final summer track event of 2020, before heading off to Bath University to further his education, eighteen year old Morpeth Harrier Ross Charlton signed off in fine style, by producing an excellent personal best of 8m52.92s, when finishing a close third in the third fastest 3000m event, at the Charnwood Open meeting, held at Loughborough, on the evening of Wednesday 16th September.

Ross, who has been a member of Morpeth Harriers for over eight years, joining as an Under 11 athlete, was certainly pleased with his new figures, which saw him take just over six seconds off his previous best for the seven and a half lap event, which had been at Gateshead in August 2019.
​
In addition, there was no one more prouder than his Mum Naomi, who had accompanied him on the trip.
He is hoping to continue his association with Morpeth Harriers whilst he is in Bath, in the belief that some form of Cross-Country competition is achievable this winter, despite the prevailing effects of the Coronavirus epidemic.
