that also included the North East Veterans Championships,
held at Monkton Stadium, Jarrow, on Saturday 24th September 2016.

Jessica won a silver medal behind Gateshead’s Amelia Bateman, who had scored 3,284 points,
which proved to be a championship best performance for the Under 17 Women’s age group.
The much talented Morpeth sprinter won the 80m Hurdles in 12.2s,
which was an event that she was tackling for the first time.
She also finished third in the Long Jump (4.82m), High Jump (1.49m),
and 800m (2m49.7s), and fourth in the Shot (7.37m).

Another Morpeth Harrier in action in the Under 17 Women’s Pentathlon was Harriet Priest,
who accumulated a total of 2,564 points, to finish fourth in the North East Championship.
Priest’s best result came in the Shot, where she finished third with a best of 8.72m.

were of high standard, including the 800m which was very hard
In all cases they were up against very strong athletes from other regions.
