England Athletics Age Group Indoor Championships

Andrew Knight at Sheffield with his Bronze medal

Morpeth Harriers Under 17 Shot Putter Andrew Knight won a Bronze medal
at the England Athletics Age Group Indoor Championships in Sheffield on Sunday 26th February 2017,
when he putted a best of 13.91m, which was a brand new personal best,
which now ranks him fifth best in the country.
He finished third behind the current best in England and in Scotland in his age group.
​
Another Morpeth Harrier in action in Sheffield was first year Under 15 60m Hurdler Amy Lott.
Amy, who was competing in these high-profile championships for experience, certainly gained a great deal,
although she went out in her heat posting a time of 9.95s, well below her best,
but she was ranked 21st out of 31 competing, which certainly gives her more confidence as she progresses.
