Indoor T&F Update - Mar 15

Indoor track & field season – final update
At the Jarrow indoor meetings in February Ella
Wood, Jake Masterman and Josh Martin all competed
strongly, with Jake wining the 600m. At the concluding Gateshead open series
meeting on the 19th Feb Alice Dungworth finished in 2nd
in the 60m, with Jake & Ella running strongly as well. A few days later
there was a minors meeting at Gateshead, with Ellie Morris taking bronze in the
high jump and long jump as well as running a PB in the 60m hurdles. Daniel Njai Jr took 2nd in the shot put,
as well as competing in the 60m and standing long jump.
Moving into March, and the Jarrow indoor series
concluded with Heather Crosbie equaling
her 9.5s PB over 60m, and Jake running a swift 8.1s in his heat. Josh Martin
claimed top 6 finishes in both the 60m & 300m a few days later with a
couple of excellent runs.
The final event of the season was the NECAA
Pentathlon at Gateshead which attracted a very strong field. Hannah Ross-Knight
and Ellie Morris made their multi-event debut in the U13 girl’s competition.
Hannah scored PB’s in the 60m and shot put on her way to finish 6th in the
north east competition. Her performance in the high jump was also noteworthy
with a fantastic last chance clearance at 1.10m. Ellie Morris claimed a superb
silver medal by the smallest of margins (2pts). PB’s were achieved in 60m, 60m
hurdles and the shot put, but the highlight was the massive 1.34m high jump
which puts her atop the north east rankings. I was competing in the senior
men’s event, and claimed bronze after a mixed day that included PB’s in the
long jump & shot put.
The outdoor season is only days away, I’m certain
that all athletes who have competed so well indoors this season will continue
their good form outdoors.
