Five athletes from Morpeth Harriers competed at the annual Northern Athletics Track and Field Championships, held at Sport City in Manchester on Saturday and Sunday.
On day one, Phil Winkler won a prized Gold Medal in the Senior Men’s 5000m, posting a winning time of 15m02.95s. Also winning a podium place on day one from Morpeth Harriers was Under 20 Man Edward Gardiner, who won Bronze in the Discus, by producing a best throw of 36.99m. Medals continued on the second day for Morpeth , when Joe Dixon won Bronze in the Under 20 Men’s 5000m, where he produced a time of 15m46.30s, this being his first outing over the twelve and a half lap distance. This was accompanied by another Bronze Medal being won by fellow Under 20 athlete Charlotte Earl, who produced a best of 11.59m in the Triple Jump, which was just a mere fraction adrift of her personal best. Matthew Waterfield finished third in his heat of the Senior Men’s 800m in a time of 1m57.40s, which was also only a mere fraction adrift of his personal best. Unfortunately, in the later run final, he finished outside the medals in eighth spot, posting a time of 2m03.48s. * Morpeth had an additional medallist in the NECAA Track and Field Championships, when Senior Man Alistair Douglass finished third in the 10,000m at Churchill Playing Fields, Whitley Bay on the evening of Wednesday 31 May. Douglass was presented with his Bronze Medal by NECAA President Mick Frazer, after crossing the finish line in 33m17s, behind Houghton Harrier Chris Coulson, who won in 31m35s, from Sunderland Harrier Jake Ridding (32m41s).
