Morpeth Harriers are pleased to announce that their Linden Homes sponsored
Athlete of the Month Award for August 2016 has gone to talented Under 17 Woman throws specialist Bobbie Griffiths. Griffiths had a superb month indeed, firstly winning a much prized Gold medal in the Javelin, throwing a new personal best of 40.24m at the combined Under 13, Under 17, Under 17 Northern Championships at Middlesbrough. At the same venue a few days previously, she had produced three excellent performances when competing for her club in the final Northern League Division 2 match. She provided excellent B string support in the Hammer, producing a personal best of 22.85m with the heavier implement to finish second. Griffiths also gave excellent B string support in the Discus, also placing second with her best throw of 26.39m. However Griffiths had her own moment of glory when she won the A competition of her more favoured Javelin, producing a new personal best of 33.24m, with the heavier implement. At the annual Tartan Games in her Under 17 age-group, Griffiths won the Javelin witha throw of 35.99m. She also competed in the Senior event, and threw the heavier implement 32.58m to finish second. Griffiths is pictured above receiving her well-earned Linden Homes Certificate of Achievement from her Coach and Mentor David Thomas, at the Morpeth Track on the evening of Wednesday 12th October 2016.
